Orange County Woman's Kindness Got Her Out of Homelessness

Some people are so kind that they share their resources even when they don't have much of it to go around.

Linda Witt-King is a homeless woman who gave unselfishly and her reaction to Jimmy Darts asking for food in a now viral TikTok video has blessed her in dividends.

"My life has completely changed," Witt-King said. "There's nothing, hardly anything left from the old life."

Witt-King is 75-year-old, was homeless and living in a tent but gave away the little food she had on her to help someone she believed was in need.

"I have been enormously blessed when I help somebody. When I give somebody food I'm blessed and this time in a major way," she said.

Darts is an influencer who creates videos on social media asking strangers for help.

"The cool thing about Linda is when she helped me it wasn't the very first time she decided to help someone," he said. "These people have been living a lifestyle of kindness and just in that one moment they get caught in the act and they become the hero of the video."

For her act of kindness, Darts surprised her with $1,000.

He said, "I just know there's amazing people out there that have just kind of been handed a bad deck of cards."

He then asked his millions of followers on social media to help raise more than $44,000 through a GoFundMe page.

"Finding those people with those kind hearts that are out there in a struggling situation and being able to help them out of it is the biggest dream I have and meeting Linda was exactly that," Darts said.

Months later, Witt-King has put the money to good use and is in a much better place.

She found a home to live in Costa Mesa.

Also, she's bought herself a van that will help her get around.

Both agree that helping someone in need can have a long lasting impact on those who least expect it.

Darts said, "I'm on this earth for such a short time I want to do whatever I can to bring heaven to earth and change people's lives."
"I feel so blessed, so blessed and grateful," Witt-King added.

She plans to help people experiencing homeless as much as she can.

She wants to start the Gracious Nomad Academy to address homelessness in Orange County.
