A candid photo of a NYC police officer presenting a barefoot homeless man a pair of warm winter boots has gone viral. Looks like everyone can use a heartwarming story. Officer Lawrence DePrimo noticed the shoeless man in Times Square and did something about it. DePrimo said when he gave the man the boots, he smiled from ear to ear and "it was like you gave him a million dollars."
I bet Officer DePrimo feels like a million dollars right now. See article
It's the giving time of year.
I just received an email from a friend - Charity Warnings Think before you donate. Have you seen this one? It's quite frustrating as it mentions several extremely well know charities -
CEO salaries of 100K/month and only 5cents on the dollar going to the cause.
I checked it out on Snoops.com and just about everything stated in the email is incorrect.
If you do donate, check out the charity on a site such as Charity Navigator
Larry DePrimo is only 25 years old. He said he keeps the receipt for the boots in his vest to remind him that others "have it worse".
Thank you, Larry. You are an inspiration.
And kudos to the tourist who took the photo and posted it.
