Homeless Man’s Kind Gesture Inspired Viral Campaign That’s Getting People Off The Streets

A woman from the U.K., who rallied the Internet to raise money for a homeless man, has made a large donation to a local group committed to helping those in need.

University student Dominique Harrison-Bentzen donated 42,000 British pounds, (about $64,900), to the Foxton Center earlier this month, the sum from a successful fundraiser that she began in December. The Foxton Center, which works with marginalized individuals and groups, said in a statement that it will use the money to help “long-term homeless get off the streets and become established in suitable accommodation.”
