A homeless man used the last $20 in his pocket to buy gas for a stranded motorist because he feared for her safety — and what she did next changed his life.

一位流浪汉因担心一位女司机的安全,用自己口袋中最后的20美元为这位被困的司机购买了汽油。---而她在之后所做的事情改变了他的生活。

Kate McClure, 27, and her boyfriend, Mark D’Amico, 38, made it their mission to get ex-Marine and firefighter Johnny Bobbit Jr. back on his feet with a fundraising campaign that has raised more than $65,000.

27岁的凯特麦克卢尔和她的38岁的男友马克达米科为了让这位前海军陆战队员及消防员强尼鲍比特重新找回自己的生活,在网上发起了募捐众投并最终为其筹得了超过6万5美元的资金。

Bobbit came to McClure’s aid last month, when she ran out of gas on I-95 at night while driving to meet a pal in Philadelphia.

上个月的某天晚上,麦克卢尔正在开车去费城一位朋友的途中,她在I-95号高速公路上耗尽了自己的汽油。

As she walked toward the nearest gas station, he told her to get back in her car and lock the doors.

在她走下汽车并徒步走向加油站的途中,鲍比特走近了她并让她回到自己的车上,锁好车门。

Bobbit then spent his last $20 to buy her gas so she would get home safe.

之后鲍比特用掉了自己身上仅有的20美金给她买了汽油,好让她能够安全地回到家中。

“He came back and I was almost in shock,” McClure told The Post.

“当他回来时,我完全惊呆了,”麦克卢尔告诉邮报。

Bobbit asked for nothing in return — but McClure and her boyfriend stopped by his spot several times in recent weeks, repaying him for the gas money and dropping off clothes.

鲍比特没有要求任何的回报,但是最近的几周时间里,麦克卢尔和她的男友数次拜访了他的容身之处,他们偿还了他的汽油钱并且为他送上了一些衣服。

“We went to Target and got him a big backpack filled with stuff, and he opened the granola bars and offered us one,” she said. “We are like, ‘We just got this for you.’ He’s extremely generous.”

“我们去了Target,给他买了一背包的各种东西,他打开了燕麦棒的包装,并给了我们一个,”她说到。“我们的反应是我们刚刚给你买的这些...他是如此的慷慨。”

Touched by his selflessness, they started the fundraising campaign for Bobbit with a goal of $10,000 — enough to cover “first and last month’s rent at an apartment, a reliable vehicle, and 4 to 6 months worth of expenses.”

在被鲍比特无私的性情感动之后,他们开始为鲍比特展开一次募款活动,他们最初的目标是一万美元,这足够为他提供两个月的房租,一辆可靠的二手车以及4到6个月的生活支出。

They had no idea it would climb toward $70,000.

他们完全没有想过募捐的资金竟会攀升至将近7万美金。

“This is nuts,” McClure said of the money they’ve raised through GoFundMe. “It has changed my entire outlook about people, my outlook about people has skyrocketed. It’s the best Thanksgiving that I’ve ever had.”

“这太疯狂了,”麦克卢尔提及到了他们通过GoFundMe所募集的资金数额时说到。“这完全改变了我对人们的看法,我对人性的看法有了很大的改观。这是我经历过的最好的感恩节。”

Bobbit is in “shock,” the couple said.

鲍比特如今依然在“震惊”之中,这对情侣表示。

“We spoke to him yesterday, and it was around $17,000,He kept saying I don’t want to waste this chance.

“我们昨天刚和他聊过,当时筹集的金额大约在1万7美元左右,他一直不停地告诉我们他不会再浪费这次改变自己生活的机会。”

And to their amazement, the money keeps pouring in for the 34-year-old Bobbit, a Marine Corps vet from North Carolina who also worked as a firefighter and paramedic before he fell on hard times.

让他们惊讶的是,一笔笔的钱不断地流入到为34岁的鲍比特发起的募捐之中,他是一名来自北卡罗来纳州的海军陆战队队员,在他陷入人生的困境之前他还曾是一位消防队员和急救人员。

“It’s like a $100 dollars a minute in the last half hour,we got two separate $2000 donations. ”

“在那过去的半个小时里,每分钟都会有100美金入账,而且我们还得到了两笔分别为2000美金的捐款。”

“Some lady offered to pay his rent for a year,” D’Amico added.

有位女士愿意为他支付一年的房租费用,”达米科补充到。

The couple hopes Bobbit will join them for Thanksgiving dinner at McClure’s mom’s home.

这对情侣希望鲍比特能和他们一起在麦克卢尔的母亲家中共同度过感恩节的晚餐。

“We are going to pick him up. Take him shopping,” D’Amico said.

“我们会去接他,然后带他去购物。”达米科表示。

Bobbit, who hails from North Carolina, has been homeless for a year and half, and began living under a bridge after he was robbed in a shelter.

鲍比特来自北卡州,他已经过了一年半无家可归的生活,在一个避难所遭遇抢劫之后,他就开始住在了一座桥下。

“He came back from his service in the marines and for some reason it didn’t work out with his wife and it hit him hard,” D’Amico said. “He left North Carolina and started traveling around the United States.”

“在他从海军陆战队退役归来时,出于某些原因,他和妻子之间的关系无法得到改善,这让他非常的痛苦,”达米科表示。“之后他离开了北卡州,开始在美国各地旅行。”

Bobbit wants to work at Amazon — and a recruiter from the tech giant has already reached out, saying she wants to help him get a spot.

鲍比特如今想在亚马逊公司,而这个科技巨头的一位招聘人员也已经向他伸出了援手,她说她想帮助他找到一个职位。

“He’s a genuinely good guy so I think he deserves everything that’s coming to him,” McClure said.

“他是一个发自内心的好人,所以我认为他值得拥有所有这些来自他人的援助。”麦克卢尔说道。
