Homeless Vet Helps Out Woman By Giving Her His Only $20, Does Not Expect It Will Change His Life Forever

Giving back to humanity

Since the beginning, Bobbitt has shared everything he had with anyone around him who needed it, according to McClure.

After McClure met Bobbitt, she came back to him often, giving him a few dollars or something to eat. She repaid him for the gas and gave him a jacket, hat, gloves, and socks. But no matter how much or how little he had, he still wanted to help others. When McClure gave him a bag of cereal bars, he first thanked her — then asked if she wanted one, she said.

Another time, she gave him two gift cards to a convenience store and a case of water. The first thing he said then was how excited he was to show his friends — two other homeless men who were close to Bobbitt.

Bobbitt, a North Carolina native, lived in Missoula, Montana, according to his Facebook page. He studied nursing and was a former paramedic and firefighter. He also served in the Marine Corps, according to the page.

CNN has tried to reach Bobbitt for comment but has not received a response.

While Bobbitt’s life may have changed in a single month, that’s not the only thing on his mind.
His first goal is to donate to organizations around Philadelphia that helped him get through the rough patches. He also wants to find people who are stuck where he used to be.

Bobbitt’s devotion to helping people has led him to find homeless veterans who need the help he graciously received.

And to McClure, Bobbitt is not the only one who deserves a second chance.

“Nobody should be on the streets,” she said. “Nobody.”
