Homeless Man Teams Up With Secret Santa & Hands out $3K

Why don’t these things happen when I’m just walking around randomly? Probably because I’m never walking... Anyway, there’s a random rich guy that hands out $100 bills during the holiday season, but this year, he had some help! He recently met a homeless guy in Phoenix named Moses Elder, & he asked him to hand out some of that Christmas cash.   He gave him a few hundred bucks to keep for himself, plus $3,000 to hand out to whoever he wanted. He gave most of it out to random people who stopped to talk to him on the street. A few of them got pretty emotional, because they really needed the money for the holidays. He also gave $400 to a guy he knew from church. Plus $500 to a woman he knows who's homeless and has five kids. And she got VERY emotional about it.  The Secret Santa says he was hoping Moses might enjoy the opportunity to give people money for a  change.   Moses talked about it with a reporter afterward and said he's "eternally grateful," and that it feels like a "new beginning" for him. He said they helped a lot of people in one day, but that his life was changed the most.
