Homeless man returns $4,000 engagement ring — owner raises $190,000 to thank him
In Kansas City, Billy Ray Harris was sitting with his donation cup when something unusual dropped inside — a diamond engagement ring worth about $4,000. It had accidentally slipped off Sarah Darling’s finger while she was giving him change.
He could have sold it and walked away with life-changing money. Instead, he kept it safe, believing the owner might come back.
The next day, Sarah returned hoping for a miracle — and Harris quietly handed the ring back without asking for a reward. His honesty quickly spread across local news and then nationwide
Moved by his integrity, Sarah and her husband launched a GoFundMe campaign. Donations poured in from the U.S. and the U.K., raising over $190,000.
The funds helped Harris secure housing, buy a car, and reconnect with family after years on the streets.
Sometimes, the richest hearts have the least in their pockets.
