One of the best stories about karma comes out of Kansas City.
Billy Ray Harris was a homeless old man who often roamed the streets holding an empty cup and asking strangers for spare change.
At one point, a woman named Sarah Darling gave him some money. But as she reached into the cup to drop some loose change, her engagement ring fell into the cup as well without her knowledge.
When Harris found the ring, he was tempted to sell it. He went as far as having it appraised. It was valued at $4,000. However, Harris couldn’t get himself to do it. In the end, he decided to return the ring to Darling after bumping into her a few days later.
But this story doesn’t end there.
Darling and her husband were so touched that they decided to start a crowdfunding campaign with a goal of $1,000 to help Harris get his life back on track. But what the couple didn’t expect was the outpouring of support for Harris’ good deed. They were so moved that they donated more than what was necessary.
After running the crowdfunding campaign, Darling was able to raise more than $190,000.
Darling got in touch with a lawyer who set up a trust for Harris. The money ended up toward Harris’ home and car. He’s now using the rest of it to fix himself up.
The story caught mainstream attention so Harris was soon featured on the news. And thanks to the exposure, Harris’ family and friends—who hadn’t seen him for 16 years—were able to track him down. All that time, they thought Harris was dead.
Harris is now happily reunited with his family.

While it could be tempting to cash in on our good fortune, it’s always better to do the right thing no matter how hard we’re struggling.
