Black Positive People : Homeless Man’s Honest Deed Rewarded with $16K Donation, and Counting

[Clyde C Coger Jr]

In the Spirit of Sankofa,




... For returning what's not yours(doing the right thing), this brother receives over 16,000 and counting, wow:

KCTV first did a story on the unintended donation Feb. 9. Sarah Darling had put her engagement ring in her change purse because it was bothering her finger. A chance encounter with Harris on the street led Darling to give the man her loose change. It was only a day later that she realized her engagement ring was missing. When she came back to Harris on the same street, he still had the ring and gave it back to her.

Homeless Man’s Honest Deed Rewarded with $16K Donation, and Counting

A homeless man in Kansas City, Mo., made national headlines more than a week ago when he returned a valuable platinum and diamond engagement ring accidentally dropped into his cup of change by a woman offering some extra cash. Now, hundreds of donors have contributed more than $16,000 to a page on GiveForward.com to help Billy Ray Harris get his life back on track. The man's rewards don't stop with financial help -- the media story helped him connect with a brother in Lubbock, Texas, he hasn't seen in nearly 30 years.

So what will happen to Harris now? MyFoxLubbock.com reports Edwin Harris, Billy Ray's older brother, wants his sibling to come home to Lubbock, Texas. The brothers lost touch and have tried to find each other over the past 27 years. When the older brother saw Billy Ray's story on the Internet, he got in touch and the two talked for 45 minutes. Edwin Harris hopes to bring his brother back to Texas in mid-March.

Kinda sad that after 27 years they only spoke for 45 minutes. I speak longer to friends I haven't heard from for 2 days. But maybe I'm talkative? Or really I don't know.

What kind of conversation could that have been?

... My thoughts exactly, after all that absence, what did they talk about. Yep, its a sad situation, but the reward for doing the right thing should take away all the pain, lol... I would be a very happer camper, as they say.

Peace In,

I could use $16,000 too. Though I'm not at the point of stationary begging of the wealthy.

Yep, me and you both could use the money, lol... This conversation now circles back to my original point. Strangely, the brother didn't beg, was acceptable with his plight in the stage of life, but did the right thing... returned what was not his... and was gifted with the reward and Blessing; WoW! In my mind's eye, its powerful.


Peace In ABSiblings,
