When Johnny Bobbitt, a homeless man from Philadelphia, spent his last $20, he didn't think of it as an investment. But the money came back to him with huge dividends. He helped a strange woman who ran out of gas on the road, and she decided to thank Johnny.

At that moment, Kate didn't have the cash to give to Johnny. But she returned to this place several times to give the homeless man money, clothes and food. Kate said that she was very impressed by the fact that Johnny shared these things with his homeless friends.

Kate decided to do something more for the kind homeless. She started a crowdfunding campaign on GoFundMe.com . The initial goal was to raise $10,000, but the amount was rapidly increasing.

"He is very interested in finding a job. I believe that if he has a place where he can live, he will return to normal life."

Before getting into a difficult situation, Johnny served in the Marines, was a paramedic and a firefighter. He wants to get a job at an Amazon warehouse in Robbinsville. A representative of the company has already stated that he can help in getting a job.
