PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A New
Jersey woman who was helped by a homeless man when she ran out of gas in
Philadelphia is raising money to help him.
Kate McClure was heading to
Philadelphia to visit a friend last month when she ran out of gas on Interstate
95. The Florence Township woman pulled over and began to worry until a homeless
man approached her.
The man, whose name was
"Johnny," told her it wasn't safe and he bought McClure gas with his
last $20.
McClure promised she would
return to pay him. McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, have since raised
over $20,000 for the former ammunition technician.
The pair hope to get
"Johnny" an apartment and help with transportation.
