Reward for good deed

A HOMELESS man who used his last $20 to buy petrol for a woman who had run out has been repaid with an online fundraiser that’s accumulated more than $US60,000 ($A70,000) so far.

Kate McClure’s car ran out of petrol on a Philadelphia highway last month and homeless man Johnny Bobbitt Jr came to her aid. At the time Ms McClure didn’t have any cash to give him but returned to the road several times bringing cash, clothes and food for Mr Bobbitt.

She soon became inspired to do something more to help the 34-year-old so set up the GoFundMe fundraiser to help him find accommodation.
