Businessman Saves Boyhood Friend's Home, Donates It to Habitat for Humanity
They were his neighbors but so much more. Now he has honored their memory by buying their family home and donating it to Habitat for Humanity.
After a homeless woman and her dog tracked down a burglar and and returned his stolen loot, more than 400 people have donated thousands of dollars to get her a trailer to live in.
Lottie Pauling-Chamberlain and her dog Marley (named after reggae singer Bob Marley) routinely sleep outside a Lush cosmetics store in Oxford, England.

She and the staff know each other, so when a suspicious man coming out of the store around four in the morning Wednesday woke Lottie up, she knew he wasn't a store employee and confronted him.
The man was holding a laptop and about $1,500 in cosmetics, but he surrendered his haul to the woman and her large, growling dog before running off. She returned the stolen goods the next morning.
The store manager started a GoFundMe page to "Support Lottie & Oxford's Homeless" that has raised more than $11,000 in just two days.
He wants to buy her a trailer parked on a piece of land, then use any leftover money to help other homeless people in town.
