Woman Raises Almost $400,000 For Homeless Good Samaritan...
Kate McClure (of Florence Township, New Jersey) ran out of gas on the exit ramp from Interstate 95 in Philadelphia.
A nearby homeless man, Johnny Bobbitt Jr., walked a few blocks to the nearest gas station and used his last $20 to buy gas for the stranded motorist.
She didn't have money to repay him at the time, but sought him out days later to give him the money. She also visited him a few more times to bring food and water.
She and her boyfriend created an online fundraiser page as a thank you and to try to help him get back on his feet. As of Tuesday afternoon, the fundraiser has raised more than $397,000.
Bobbitt served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a paramedic in Vance County, North Carolina, before he became homeless.
He just purchased a home and is looking into buying a truck as well. Bobbitt says he's donating some of his money to a grade school student who is helping another homeless veteran.
Bobbit said "The feeling is indescribable and (it's) all thanks to the support and generosity that each and every one of you has shown. I’ll continue to thank you every single day for the rest of my life."
