We have a guy here in Las Vegas that goes by the name Robin Hood 702.
This Robin Hood doesn't exactly steal from the rich and give to the poor.
No, this Robin Hood is a professional blackjack player.....but it's what he does with his winnings that make him special.
He takes his winnings and helps out those in need of financial help.
And the cool thing is, when other people see HIM helping others, they also pitch in and help out.
At Christmas time, Robin Hood 702 even goes around and hands out $100 bills to homeless people living on the street.
Of course for obvious reasons he remains anonymous to the general public.
Anyways, I had kind of forgotten about him until this morning when I saw him on the news helping out a family who are going through a hardship due to cancer.
Here's the link:

You can also Google Robin Hood 702 and find all kinds of stories of him helping people.........He even has his own website where you can submit your story to him if your family is going through a devastating financial hardship (not because you want a new pair of shoes).
Anyhoo, I just wanted to take off my "goofy discussion hat" for a couple of minutes and share this man's story with y'all..........and who knows? Maybe even give some of you a little inspiration.
Do you have any "Super Heroes" that live in your community?
(No mykl, Brian James O'Neill II doesn't count)

Thanks for posting such a heartwarming story Sconi..nowadays it is rare to find people such as this..and as far as I know there isn't anyone like this in our town. What this guy does is amazing..I just wish there were more people out there like him because there is alot of people in need in this world..To bad he wants to remain anonymous, because he deserves a reward for the things he is doing. I like that he is helping the homeless..and wish they could be more done for them..they don't ask to be homeless i know..but look at all the empty building standing empty all about the world when they could be homes to those who need it most...

I think it is great what he did for the guy with Cancer paying his rent like that for a year and leasing a car for 2 years..

I know how you feel about that..especially in cooler months when hubby doesn't get any work and money is almost nonexistent..and we struggle barely making it and having to borrow only to pay back when he gets back to work in warmer weather..right now we are behind..can't seem to catch up with the bills and so far nothing has been saved up for winter..yet again..but I know they are alot more people who have it harder then me and in need more then I..and I really would wish they would get the help they need..
