Man offers his house to homeless family for a year

"You don't have to be Bill Gates or Warren Buffet or Oprah," Tolbert said. "We can do it wherever we are, with whatever we have, and for me, I have a home that I can make available."


But to whom? Tolbert sought out a shelter for homeless women and children called Alexandria House. It was there he found Felicia Dukes.


Needless to say, she couldn't believe the offer when she heard it.


"They had a young man that wanted to donate their house to you for a year," Dukes recounted. "And I'm looking at her, like, what? Like -- Are you serious?"


Wow!
