Darling admits that she had no insurance on the ring and is “eternally grateful” that Harris still had her ring when she returned the next day.
Darling and her husband, Bill Krejci, set up a fundraising page in Harris’ honor on giveforward.com and to date have raised upwards of $177,000 for Harris who has spent his nights sleeping under a bridge.
The media coverage has been a blessing for Harris who has reconnected with his family in Texas. His sister, Robin Harris, has been searching for him for 16 years and thought he was dead.
Harris plans to purchase a home with the donations.
The lesson to be learned here is virtue is its own reward.
