A viral campaign to help out Johnny Bobbit Jr., a homeless veteran who offered his last $20 to stranded woman, Kate McClure, has raised more than $280,000 as of Thanksgiving night.
When McClure first met Bobbit Jr., he was homeless in Philadelphia. He spent this Thanksgiving resting in a hotel, his feet up on the bed, drawing up a grand plan for his new life — thanks to several thousand dollars she raised to repay him for a good deed.
Bobbitt, a kind soul with a long beard, used to spend most of his time sitting with a sign on a roadside in Philadelphia.
In October, McClure was driving down Interstate 95 there when she ran out of gas. Scared and nervous, she pulled into a gas station and met Bobbitt. He told her to get back in the vehicle and lock the door. Minutes later, he emerged with a red gas can.
He had used his last $20 to buy her gas.

Only teenagers run out of gas. What's up with this bimbo. No cell phone to call family/friends.
