Homeless Man Reconnects With Stranger Who Gave Him $500: “I’ve Been Doing Good.”

A homeless man remembers this act of kindness.

We don’t usually get to find out how our kindness impacts the lives of strangers. However, one man recently learned that his generosity made a big difference! A heartwarming video shared on Reddit shows Peter Bond running into a homeless man named Raymond that he’d once given $500. Raymond immediately recognized the other person, even remembering his name.

“Bond?” he asked, face lighting up as he went in for a hug.

In a previous YouTube video, Peter had filmed himself walking up to a stranger and giving him a note of encouragement. Along with this note, he offered the man a gift of $500. When the two men reconnected, Peter learned just how much his gesture had helped.

“I got my life together,” Raymond said. “I’ve been doing good. I even found me a job!”

Watch the video below to see the heartwarming reunion!
