    Homeless Woman Leaves Savings to Charity

         You may not think a homeless woman living on the streets of New York City would have any savings to share, but you would be wrong.  Following her death, the unnamed woman became a surprise benefactor to Hebrew University after she willed a gift of $150,000 to the school.

    What is known about about this woman is that she was a Holocaust survivor. Her gifts in life and in death are both uniquely inspiring. She truly lived a life in order to give a better life to others. She was 92 when she died and had saved more than $300,000 to share with others upon her death. Check out the full story here:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/09/homeless-holocaust-surviv_n_255080.html
