When someone does something like this it makes me wonder. Seems sincere when you think 200k could have gone to his charity of choice that might include write offs, expensive dinner fundraising events or a number of things that benefit the person donating more than the person receiving.

Nice thought in this case.

It is indeed extremely fortunate that people like this still exist.

It also proves that, despite the relentless, inhuman depravity of the contemporary American government, some among the people themselves are still good.

God bless this man.

Well, I would of just donated it to the people who are wandering around the street aimlessly, Donating it all to a community center depends on if some workers aren't crook themselves or if they actually give it to the people who do need it. I don't trust community centers. People who do need it are the ones on the streets.

It was a nice gesture from the guy though and I hope it does get disbursed evenly among those that need things.

I believe this man already understands that God has done so.

Some good news. Thank you.

I totally disagree. You can, in no way, make that broad of a statement either for or against 'community centers'. There are many good ones, there are some bad. But just handing out money to people on the street will not make a difference to most But donating it to a center that offers people shelter, food and clothing WILL make a difference.

As someone who spent many years being homeless ( by choice), I can say that those 'wandering the streets aimlessly' as you put it are drug addicts and/or mentally disturbed. Just handing them money changes nothing. e homeless who are seeking a way out are at community centers, so they can stay clean, and work.

What this man did was FANTASTIC and extremeley commendable and I hope there are tons more that start to follow in his path. Who knows maybe one day one of the scumb bags in the ubber rich families will finally have some compasion on humanity and start giving back to the people whom they have stolen their riches. I think there may be some truth to the "blood line" thing becasue I have met a few ubber rich people and they are not the same as the average person you see everyday.

What a wonderful guy.
Donating to community centers definitely is a better help than just handing out to random people on the street. Those who truly need help and are working towards a better life will be at the community centers.

Kudos, dude!

love still rules! bless this man.
now if 1 in 10 people just did a little something for others that are less fortunate,perhaps this world would be a little better to live in!
good story for a change! thanx for the post.
doesn't take much to change someone's life
peace

I love people like this!
It is all about helping out in your own community to start with. Helping people get back on feet or give them the means to survive.
Imagine if all communities had a couple of these "businessmen", instead of those whom just run over everything and everyone to make more money.
