GoFundMe Page Raises Over $300K for Homeless Man

A fund set up to raise money for a homeless man who helped a woman when her car ran out of gas in Philadelphia has collected more than $335,000.

The GoFundMe campaign was started by Bordentown, New Jersey, resident Kate McClure this month after she was stuck along Interstate 95 and Johnny Bobbitt Jr. bought her some gas with his last $20.

McClure says she didn't have money to pay him back but she returned to his spot several times in the following days to give him cash, clothes and food. She says she then started the fundraiser hoping to collect $10,000 to cover housing and other expenses for him.

McClure says she wishes she "could do more for this selfless man."

Donations had poured in from almost 12,000 people by Friday evening.
