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.

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported that a lady who was kicked out of the house by her parents had gifted four homeless families new homes.
The lady identified as Jessica Pearce was touched by the growing number of persons who sleep on the streets and sought to make an impact.
She and her husband had reached out to some of the affected families during last Christmas to get a first-hand feeler of what it was like.
The couple started their kind act with a man whose kids were with his former partner because he was homeless.
