Homeless Man Returns Diamond Ring

A homeless Kansas City man found a $4,000 diamond ring and returned it to the woman who lost it. The ring fell by accident into the donation cup of Billy Ray Harris. He returned it to Sarah Darling and her husband Bill Krejci. "My grandfather was a reverend. He raised me from the time I was 6 months old, and thank the good lord. It's a blessing, but I do still have some character," Harris said. An online campaign to donate money to Harris for the gesture has raised $68,000 as of Friday morning. "The idea was maybe to come up with a couple hundred dollars, something nice for him," Krejci said. "But now we're talking about an amount that could really make a difference."

See...despite what libs want to tell you, being poor doesn't mean you are a bad person or incompetent.

Go ahead, give him that $68K. It's going to be gone by next month (if it takes that long) and he will still be homeless. It's about lifestyle. If someone wants to pull themselves out of poverty, they will.

The legacy of entitlement spending (democrats) will be making being poor comfortable.

I always say, the biggest deterrence to being poor, is living poor.

You truly dont understand a military member working for a paycheck and someone receiving welfare for doing nothing.

Stop talking about George Zimmerman that way. I'm sure they are perfectly legitimate reasons for his blowing through the first round of donations so quickly....

Harris may need an ombudsman or something to make sure he gets on the right path.

Do you have any idea how many Veterans become homeless?

approximately 23% of the homeless population are veterans

They all suddenly forgot how to work one day? Someone should look into that.
