Sometime ago a young woman travelling alone sat stranded in her car on I-95 in route to Philadelphia, PA. A nearby homeless man, Johnny Bobbitt, sensing her distress came to her aid. Johnny Bobbitt told her to remain in her car and keep the doors locked. Moments later he returned with a red container filled with gasoline which he purchased with his last twenty dollars. To show her gratitude, Katelyn McClure, the young woman who was stranded, and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, started a GoFundMe hoping to raise $10,000 to help Bobbitt get back on his feet. In less than a month, the GoFundMe account raised nearly $400,000. At that point, this was a Rags to Riches feel good story. But what took place afterwards leaves one puzzled as to how these good intentions can yield so much trouble. Listen in to find out about the trouble in this story and to hear the insight and answers to this entire situation through The Holy Scriptures. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gofundme-for-homeless-man-couple-accused-of-stealing-funds-highlights-risks-of-crowdfunding/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/gofundme-says-johnny-bobbitt-jr-will-get-all-400-000-n907401
