A Woman Took Her Lottery Win and Put a Homeless Man in a Motel
A single mom in Wareham, Massachusetts(50 miles south of Boston.) won $200 on a scratch off lottery ticket this last Saturday. Her name is Sofia Lorena. On her drive home, she saw a homeless guy in his 60's or 70's begging for change. The temperature was below zero that night, so she picked him up and bought him coffee. And he was so grateful he started crying.
Then she called around to a bunch of homeless shelters in the area, but they were all full. So she took the $200 she'd just won, and put him up in a motel for three nights.
She also got a few people to donate warm clothes, a local barber went to his room to give him a haircut, and one kid even showed up with a handmade Valentine card. The guy's name is Glenn Williams, and he's been homeless for three years.
Sofia also posted about it on Facebook, started a page on GoFundMe.com, and has already raised nearly $15,000.00. If you want to help, go here--> "Help give Glenn a second chance."
