Barefoot homeless guy is bootless again in NYC

12/3/2012

Last week we told you about a barefoot homeless man on the receiving end of a random act of kindness in the form of a warm pair of boots. Well, he’s gone viral again for being, well, barefoot... again. His name’s Jeffrey Hillman and when asked by a reporter about what became of the boots proffered by New York City police officer Lawrence DePrimo he said, "Those shoes are hidden. They are worth a lot of money." Sure, he’s grateful, and says he wishes there were more people like DePrimo in the world, but online fame hasn’t helped him. "I was put on YouTube, I was put on everything without permission … I want a piece of the pie." [Source]
