What will a homeless man do with $100? Filmmaker follows beggar into a liquor store after giving him cash but is left shocked to find the man does the very opposite of what you'd expect
A California man who set out to see what a homeless person would so with a cash donation of $100 says that no one is more surprised than he at what eventually transpired.
YouTube personality Josh Paler Lin uploaded a video on Monday that starts out with him handing a street beggar in Los Angeles the cash, then secretly following the man with a camera to see what he does. When the man, known only as Thomas walks straight into a nearby Liquor Mart, Paler Lin believes he got the result he had though.
However Thomas actually went in to buy food, and then goes straight to a park where many other homeless people gather in order to hand out the offerings.
Thomas told Paler Lin he quit his job to look after his parents, but after both of them died, he couldn't afford to pay for their condo and found himself on the street.
Paler Lin also set a fundraising page on Indiegogo for Thomas, hoping to raise $10,000 for him. It has already received over $140,000 in donations.
