Not only do bedtime stories create an opportunity to increase the closeness between parents and their kids, but reading a little one at the same time night after night can help them form a healthy sleep routine.

for her.
While she didn’t have cash to give him at the time, she and her boyfriend returned to Johnny’s spot along the side of the road the next day to return the money. Over the following weeks, she kept stopping by to chat with Johnny and give him a few dollars. Finally she decided to set up a GoFundMe page for him earlier this month, intending to raise $ 10,000. “I wish that I could do more for this selfless man, who went out of his way just to help me that day,” McClure wrote on the page. “He is such a great guy, and talking to him each time I see him makes me want to help him more and more.”
To date, the campaign has raised over $ 300,000 — outstripping its goal. Many of the 10,400 donors contributed $ 10 or $ 20. McClure originality intended to use the funds to set Johnny up in his own apartment with some necessities and enough money to last him a few months while he looked for employment.
As support kept pouring in, McClure briefly stopped the campaign earlier this week on the request of Johnny, who didn’t want to take advantage of the kindness of strangers. She restarted it, however, by popular demand.
Faced with a huge surplus of the funding, McClure said, “Johnny has more than a few ideas of where this money can go and how it will be used for meaningful purposes.” “It will be his decision and his decision only on what organizations or private parties he decides lo help!” she wrote. 24.
