As they say in the story, published on the page GoFundMe, the girl went to Philadelphia at night, when she had run out of gasoline and she was alone in the middle of the highway. She got out of the car and was about to call the boyfriend when suddenly a bum appeared out of the darkness and asked what had happened to her. Learning what it was, the man suggested that McClure return to the car and close the doors.

Johnny went on foot to the nearest gas station and brought out a heavy can of gasoline. For fuel, he paid the last remaining $ 20. Kate did not have cash and she could not immediately return his debt, says Voice of America.

Later the girl returned to the same place. Johnny spent every day sitting on the side of the road. She returned Johnny's debt, and also handed him clothes and food. She says she was impressed that the man shared clothes and food with other homeless people. Kate was so touched by the kindness of a man that she decided to raise money for him on the site GoFundMe. The girl expected that she would manage to save about $ 10,000 so that he could rent a house. However, for two weeks more than ten thousand people, impressed by the history of McClure and Johnny, transferred more than $ 300 thousand.

Johnny previously served in the US Navy, and also worked as a paramedic. Now he can finally afford to rent an apartment and is going to get a job at the warehouse of the company Amazon.
