101-Year-Old Grandpa Begs Every Day And Gives It All Away To Orphanages - Dobri Dobrev

Meet 99 years old Dobri Dobrev - The Saint from Bailovo, Bulgaria. In February, 2018 he died at the age of 103 years. He was a man who lost his hearing in the Second World War. Every day he walks 10-40 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of Sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

Though a well known fixture around several of the city's churches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euro — towards the restoration of decaying Bulgarian monasteries and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euro.
