Honesty Withdrawal at ATM After Customer Forgot to Take His Money
A 23-year-old shopper who forgot to take his money from the ATM slot was shocked when he returned an hour later to find a kind stranger waiting to hand it back.
A 21-year-old design student in Detroit redesigned the winter coat to help homeless people suffering from relentlessly cold winters. The ankle-length "Element S" is hooded, self-heated and waterproof, but it also transforms into a sleeping bag at night.
Not only that, her Detroit Empowerment Plan envisioned that the coat be made by a group of homeless women who are paid minimum wage, and fed and housed while creating the coats. The plan now creates jobs for those who desire them and coats for those who need them at no cost.
"The goal is to empower, employ, educate, and instill pride," writes Veronika Scott, the coat's creator. "The importance is not with the product but with the people."
