Kate McClure was stuck on a highway in Philadelphia when she ran out of gas. She didn't have money and couldn't get home. It was then that a 34-year-old homeless veteran, Johnny Bobbitt Jr., came up to her and said he would use his last $20 to buy her gas.
McClure and her boyfriend eventually repaid him. Then, they devised a plan to raise money for Bobbitt to get back on his feet. So she set up a GoFundMe page, soliciting donations.
"Truly believe that all Johnny needs is one little break," McClure wrote. "Hopefully with your help I can be the one to give it to him."
They ended up raising close to $400,000. The couple says the money will be used to rent Bobbitt an apartment and pay for his food, clothing, cellphone, and transportation.
"[Bobbit] definitely has the drive," Mark D’Amico, McClure's boyfriend, told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "He doesn't want to be on the streets anymore. He wants to be a functioning member of society and not be sitting on a guard rail in Philadelphia."
