Zero To Over $330,000 and Counting for A Man Who Helped A Woman On A High Way

This man has just shown us that to get to the up spot in life all that is needed is a good heart that cares about other people even when it’s going to cost your last cent. Going from $0 to over $300,000 is an amazing story for Johnny — “This changes my life right there,” Johnny said in a video posted to the GoFundMe page after $1,700 had been raised.

It all started when young woman named Kate McClure from New Jersey was driving into Philadelphia in Oct. when she ran out of gas around 11pm on the Interstate 95.  She said her heart was beating out of her chest at that point.

According to her the man showed up and told her to lock her doors, and spent his last $20 to buy her gas without asking for a dollar which she wouldn’t have been able to pay at that moment because I didn’t have any cash. But later on she has been dropping by his spot on the Interstate to repay him for the gas, provide him with warm clothes, food and water since that act of kindness.

On Nov. 10, she and her boyfriend, Mark D’Amico, began a GoFundMe campaign, with a funding goal of $10 thousand, to help her rescuer find an apartment, a car and four to six months of expenses. “He is very interested in finding a job, and I believe that with a place to be able to clean up every night and get a good night’s rest, his life can get back to being normal” she writes.

Her story went viral after it ran in a local paper on Nov. 20. As of Friday, the fund was over at $336,000. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, McClure has learned that her midnight saviour was Johnny Bobbitt Jr., 34, who was a former ammunition technician in the Marines.
