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.

Those who donated him money probably feel even better about it now. That is a positive effort by Dobri Dobrev. A lot of people spend time helping others and that brings joy to everyone involved. Too bad the few that cause choas can ruin it for so many. I pray we all catch the spirit of charity.
I like this lady just that, she we never have time for me, because am too young for her. Well all the best cute kisses
That’s good of him
Am really touched by his kind gesture
Very touching, it’s good always give no matter how little you have.

Ds is really touch.i wonder hw ds man oif ds age do al;l ds while we dat still very young nd styrong cannot even follow God up verry well.
This is what the bible talks about , you don’t have to give only when you think you have enough
Very very touching, a lesson for all of us who are eat alone, we will definitely die alone.
The experience of WW2 changed d world and everyone in it in divers ways. To this old man everything is vanity. It only takes another Hitler to prove that again.
