Billy, a homeless man who found a diamond engagement ring worth $4,000, received an incredible appreciation gift from people. Donations started pouring in after his kindness.

After picking up the ring, he notes that his very first intuition was to sell it and keep the money but disregarded this thought to do the right thing.

The couple set out to help him through crowdfunding to show their appreciation towards him. Through crowdfunding, they raised a swooping sum of $190,00 in his stead.
