Meet 98 year old Dobri Dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war. Every day he walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of Sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.
Though a well known fixture around several of the city’s churches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying Bulgarian monasteries and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.

Just goes to show you cant judge a book by its cover. He is not poor. Instead, he is a rich man for his spirit! He was not showing off but have come to understand that life is all vanity if we do not leave a legacy Heaven will approve of.
May God Bless him and turn the heart of those that thinks they will live forever on earth, gathering all the good things of life at the stake of their Soul in folly...Amen
