Homeless Man Who Returned Diamond Ring

[RoadToad]

She accidentally dropped it in his cup, and he returned it when she came back. She and her husband were so grateful, they've started a fundraising campaign for him, and by the time it's done, he's gonna pocket something over a hundred grand. But what I love about the whole story is his attitude: "I like it, but I don't think I deserve it," he said. "What I actually feel like is, 'what has the world come to when a person who returns something that doesn't belong to him and all this happens?'"

I couldn't agree more, Billy Ray! And I'll tell ya what: you go ahead and keep that money, and do as you please with it. If people want to take it upon themselves to give it to you, that's their choice. And with an attitude like yours, you probably deserve it as much as the next person, if not more.

I would like to know his story.....being homeless isn't always for crooks, drug addicts and mentally challenged people. It's nice to see a feel good story once in a while.

This is Ted Williams from a few years ago.

He was also on the streets........drugs and alcohol abuse......

He has been trying to get it together, but I think the fame and fortune has caused him some setbacks.

Later,
