A California man who mistakenly donated $15K instead of $150 later realized his blunder turned out to be a blessing in the end.
The bizarre story starts off by Michael telling Reddit users about an encounter he had with a friendly neighbor — a 70-year-old Hindu priest — about a hunger charity he heads in Bangladesh.Being the Good Samaritan Michael was, he decided to donate to the charity organization and donate $150 to “Urgent Food Relief Needed: Bangladesh.”At least that’s what he thought.
“It seems I had accidentally started typing my credit card information while my cursor was still in the donation box, and just like that 150 became 15041. Yikes,” he admitted. The man who runs the operations for the charity sent Michael pictures and videos of people graciously thanking him for the massive five-figure donation.
“The man had sent me a video of himself from Bangladesh, surrounded by dozens of impoverished and hungry people holding bags of food, thanking me BY NAME for my generous donation,” Michael wrote. One notable YouTuber drew even more attention to Michael’s Reddit in a video as part of their “Reading Reddit Stories” series, in which moved more people to donate.
