This is sad on multiple levels. $10,000 would have helped him immensely. Could have put him up in an apartment for a while, gotten some new, fresh clothes, etc, and he probably could have started turning his life around. $400,000 is life changing to most people. You can set yourself up in a reasonable situation with that kind of cash. Basic shelter and transportation at the very least. And that's a huge load off for most people. So yeah, I can see the temptation when the nice thing you wanted to do explodes into basically winning the lottery. So you start thinking about it. He's just a homeless guy with an opioid addiction. So you put up the barriers. He needs to get a job, he needs to be clean for X days/weeks/months. And really, what's the legal obligation? I mean, you bought him a camper, a TV, a phone, a vehicle. You've done far in excess of $10,000. Why don't you deserve something as well. Dude was just lucky the internet took to the story. Could have been anyone. I've paid him back. He wouldn't even have a whiff of this money if not for my compassion. Where's mine? And then we're here. Fighting a homeless guy for a couple hundred thousand.
