UPDATE 09/16: A fundraiser started for a homeless man in Boston who turned in a backpack full of cash has nearly reached its goal of $50,000. Beyond that, the fundraiser’s organizer, Ethan Whittington, said in an update Tuesday evening that he has spoken with people about finding the man, Glen James, a job and possibly housing. Whittington claims he spoke to James over the phone, and they are figuring out a plan on how to best get the money over to James once the goal is reached. “Donations just keep pouring in. I have had people willing to donate computers, clothes, food, etc. I am also speaking with a few folks about the possibility of a house or apartment,” Whittington wrote. “The sky is the limit, the more money we make, the more people we can help…again, I cannot thank you enough for the support. If we change one persons life at a time, we can change the world.” Hundreds of people have logged on to donate, and as of Tuesday evening, the average donation was about $25.

Honestly, what the guy did was very genuine but I don't condone just giving this guy free money for one good act. He's getting free computers?? on top of $50k?? At most get him into a mental hospital/rehab center, etc...that's what he truly needs. What's next? a homeless guy rescues a cat from a tree and in return gets $100k?
A fool and his money are easily parted.
