The money, though little, happened to be Robbie's last at that time. The amazed university student identified as Dominique Harrison-Bentzen turned down the offer and found her way home.
She sought for the man the following week
Dominique searched for the man the following week and learnt of his plight and how he still rendered help notwithstanding, this further melted her heart.
The student was said to have launched a campaign on a donation page to raise money for Robbie, Understanding Compassion reports.
The effort proved successful beyond expectation as she had only wanted to raise N284,000 but got N26 million as people were touched by Robbie's kind personality.
