Texas Mosque Burns Down, Donations Exceed 500K in Just 24 Hours
In the short span of two days, strangers from around the world donated over $850,000 so this Texas mosque could rebuild their religious home.
Ray Johnstone wanted a fishing mate to replace his deceased wife and friend – so after posting this moving internet ad, social media responded.
Ray Johnstone was only looking for a fishing buddy to replace his deceased wife and friend – but after posting a heartbreaking online ad, the internet went wild.
The 70-year-old had apparently already posted the plea on Facebook without any luck, so he then transferred the ad to Gumtree at the suggestion of his nurse.
Since he published the ad on January 19th, it has been viewed over 80,000 times. Social media users have started the hashtag #I'llFishWithRay and extended offers of friendship from across the country.
Following the outpouring of support, however, Ray has apparently finally found a local fishing mate in a similar social situation who will accompany him to the water later this week.
The identity of the fishing friend has not yet been revealed, however the internet community is rejoicing the success of the pensioner's search.
