This is an unbelievably inspiring story..A homeless man in
Langford, British Columbia, found $2,400 on the street and subsequently
turned the money in, so that the rightful owner could be found. After the owner was found, people were moved by the homeless man's honesty that they set up a fundraising page on Go Fund Me and over $5,000 was
raised ..According to a press release from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police,
Constable Alex Bérubé said,
The man, who has chosen to not be identified, said that he wanted to "honor the generosity of the community by paying it forward." What he does want to do is work, meanwhile, so creators of the Go Fund Me page are now spearheading the man's request for help in finding a job.

"After hearing this story and seeing how this case touched so many people, I took a personal interest in finding this man, looking for him everywhere while on and off shift. It's not easy tracking down a person of no fixed address and no phone, but I kept trying because I needed to tell him about how the community had rallied together to help him."Bérubé's found the man and told him the incredible news about the funds that awaited him that were raised by strangers online.But instead of asking how he could cash in, he asked how he could give back.
"His response surprised me yet again, when instead of asking how to collect it, he asked me how to donate it to Our Place and other food service providers for people in need."Considering the large sum involved and that the man might be overwhelmed, the investigators asked him to think about it overnight. However, the next day, he returned with the same answer regarding what he wanted to do with the funds.

ReplyDeleteTrust a Nigerian man to pick that money, his village people will know he got rich overnight at someone else expense.. It's always right to do good, the result musn't necessarily come outrightly but will surely come someday.!!!
ReplyDelete99 percent of homeless people in Nigeria will never return the money, forget all this story you dey talk uncle.
