Homeless man's astonishment after donors pledge him $150,000 for returning diamond engagement ring
KCTV 5 - Homeless: Billy Ray Harris's good deed has earned him over $150,000 (KCTV 5)
A homeless man has become the centre of a global fundraising campaign - after returning a diamond engagement ring to a bride-to-be who dropped it in his coffee cup.
Sarah Darling lost her ring on the streets of Kansas City when she it unknowingly dropped it into a cup belonging to Billy Ray Harris.
She desperately dashed back to the scene the next day after realising it was missing, and was overjoyed when Harris returned the valuable jewellery straight back to her.
The feel-good story has touched so many people that an online fundraising page for homeless Harris has since pulled $150,000 in less than a fortnight.
The act of selflessness by Harris, who sleeps under a bridge and spends his days in a square in Kansas City, has since been described as a 'miracle' by Ms Darling's fiance, Bill Krejci.
Mr Krejci, who set up the online donations page himself, said the act of generosity 'makes you realise that there are good people out there'.
