A university student is raising money for a homeless man who offered her his last £3 so she could get home safely after a night out. Dominique Harrison-Bentzen, 22, has already beaten her target of raising £12,500 for the man, identified only as Robbie.    

Dominique Harrison realized she had lost her card after a night out on December 4, when the good homeless stepped in. She said: "I suddenly realized that I had no money and a homeless man approached me with his only change of £3."He insisted I took it to pay for a taxi to make sure I got home safe."

She refused to take the money in the end, but was so touched by the man's kind gesture that she has set herself a mission to help him.

She said: "He has been homeless for seven months through no fault of his own and he can't get work due to having no address. It took me four nights of driving round Preston to find him and I was beginning to lose hope that I would see him again, to thank him personally for his kindness.”

"And I simply can't just give him the money, I have to go through the right channels so I will be spending 24 hours through the day and night as a homeless person to understand the difficulties they face each day.”

"I hope my campaign will help people think a little more about the people around them, Christmas is a good time to think about other people."If people can see what I am doing then maybe they can take the time to just stop and talk to a homeless person, hear their story.
