Billy Ray Harris is a homeless man that often takes up residence underneath a bridge. He was on the street asking for donations when Sarah Darling came by and emptied her change purse into his donation cup. Well, she didn’t just give him her change, she mistakenly threw in her engagement ring, according to CNN.She went back to find him, but he was gone. When she came back the next day though, he was there:“I asked him … ‘I don’t know if you remember me, but I think I gave you something that’s very precious to me,’ and he says, ‘Was it a ring? Yeah, I have it, I kept it for you,’” Darling said.Obviously, the ring is worth much more to her than money and both her and her husband showed their gratitude by setting up a donation site for Harris that has raised $95,000.Harris said that his grandfather raised him most of his life and it appears that his upbringing is still working for him:“My grandfather was a reverend and he raised me from the time I was six months old. Thank the good Lord it’s a blessing I do still have some character.”Bravo Harris! You deserve all of the sentiment of those who are donating. Brian Harris gave a $10 donation and said:“If I wasn’t jobless I would give much more, but felt compelled to do something. Billy Ray do your best to become what you’ve always dreamed you could be. Its never too late. God Bless and thanks for never loosing your character in tough times.”Check out the report. Harris has another surprising lost and found story.

To me, the best part is the quote from the the homeless man,

"I like it, but I don't think I deserve it, 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?'"

Ugh, kinda sickened by this just like homeless billy. he did the right thing but why is everyone j'ing off over it? Glad the dude is gonna get paid but this is all a little absurd. What's to stop people from perpetrating scams using this same formula? How do we know this is not a scam? Just makes me uncomfortable and I definitely wouldn't make a pledge...

I thought the same thing this morning when I heard this on the radio? It's nice he returned it but over 100K because of it? Thafuqueouttahurr

I can't believe people feel good about themselves after giving a homeless man some change to get some beer.

The homeless shelter would make much better use of that money.
