Always check the pockets of jackets before donating!

My mom snuck $100 in a jacket my wife almost donated without realizing.

Then again, the person receiving the donated jacket could use the $100 more than the person donating it. It's fun to imagine what I might do if a billionaire gave me a million dollars, or 0.1% of their wealth. Thing is, me giving $5,000 to a homeless person would change their life more than me getting that million dollars.

Ironically yes, it could even get the person killed
