Couple Who Raised More Than $400K to Help a Homeless Man Spent It All on Themselves

Imagine you’re in the worst part of town, like Kate McClure was. And then  a homeless man, like Johnny Bobbitt, helps you. Well, naturally, you’d want to pay it forward.

So Kate and her husband tried to repay Bobbitt, but now the couple who raised over $400,000 for a homeless man is in some deep trouble with the law after some major twists in their story.

She Made A Huge Mistake

In October 2017, Kate McClure was driving down I-95 on her way to Philadelphia. Her gas light was on, but she decided to ignore it. She thought she could make it to the nearest gas station, but she was wrong.

It Was Her First Time

McClure had never run out of gas before. She was frightened, but there was only one thing she could do.

“I pulled over as far as I could, and got out of the car to head to the nearest gas station,” she wrote on her GoFundMe page. And then she met him.

Heeere’s Johnny!

Johnny Bobbitt, a homeless veteran, was sitting on the side of the road. “He saw me pull over and knew something was wrong. He told me to get back in the car and lock the doors.” It turns out, she was on the wrong side of town.

Hero To The Rescue

Bobbitt didn’t have a lot of money, but he had enough to get McClure what she needed. “A few minutes later, he comes back with a red gas can.  Using his last 20 dollars to make sure I could get home safe.” Soon enough, McClure realized she had stumbled upon an incredible human being.
