A homeless Boston man returning cash and checks worth $42K has been compensated by his community with a ton of donations.

Glen James is living on the streets, but he has explained that his morals forbid him from taking any part of the money. His heartwarming story has prompted massive support, and donations have started pouring in.

WSFA writes that an Alabama native has raised more than $90K (€66K) for James via a crowdfunding website.

He thought that he would get a few hundred dollars, but 2,000 made donations within the first 24 hours alone.

He has also talked to business owners and individuals who wish to donate computers, clothes and even get James a job.

Ethan Whittington, who started the campaign, explains that he wishes to change the homeless man's life, instead of just handing over some cash.
