A 12-year-old California girl has raised almost $50,000 for a homeless man who returned her grandmother’s lost wallet.
According to Washington Post, Sean Currey found the wallet in a dumpster by the Kamson Coffee Shop in San Rafael, north of San Francisco. Currey returned the wallet it to its rightful owner.
“Anybody in the position of being homeless and cold and tired and hungry, if they found a credit card, they’re going to think about it,” Currey told the outlet. “But whether you're going to act on it is two different things.” He added, “I would rather be cold and hungry and know that I did the right thing.”
A GoFundMe campaign was created by the 12-year-old and since then has raised more than $49,000 for Currey. They hope the GoFundMe campaign helps Currey, who has been living inside his SUV, find a sheltered home soon.
