After a homeless man’s unexpected kind gesture was caught on camera last week, the Internet has decided to repay him for restoring people’s faith in humanity. Donors across the country emptied their pockets for Eric, a homeless man.

Comedian Rahat, who typically uses his craft to terrify his victims and uploads the videos on Youtube, pulled a heartwarming move last Tuesday when he gave Eric a lottery ticket and arranged for a store clerk to pretend that it was a winning ticket and to give $1,000 to the homeless man.
