Summary:
Jerome Gomez was a well-respected officer on the force. When he received a call about a strange man at the local Walmart store, he instantly responded to the call.
Introduction:
Jerome Gomez was a dedicated, talented officer who always did his best to protect his local community. When he showed up for work one day, his first call was about a homeless man at the local Walmart. For some reason, the homeless man absolutely refused to leave the store. Jerome knew that situations like this could quickly spiral out of control, so he instantly responded to the call.
Jerome had served on the police force for almost five years. During that time, he had seen plenty of unusual things. With so many homeless people in the area, the shelters were often too full to care for them all. Many of the homeless individuals had to sleep on the streets. Jerome knew that they were often attacked by cruel people, so he did his best to protect him. He also knew that some of the homeless people were deranged and could hurt other …show more content…
people. When he responded to the call, he was ready for anything. What actually happened completely surprised him.

Main:
George Finns had been homeless for more than a decade. He had spent so many years on the streets that he did not remember what it was like to sleep in a bedroom at night. When he first started sleeping on the streets, George had tried to find a shelter each night. Soon, he found out that the shelters were often more dangerous than the streets. Even if he tried to find a shelter, there was rarely extra space available.

On this particular day, George was running around Walmart like a crazy man. He could hardly breathe as he shouted “Charger!” over and over again. The employees in the store looked at George like he was crazy. While some of the employees just ignored him, other employees were visibly
afraid.
Susan Hadley was one of the managers at the store. She immediately decided that she had to do something. She went over to George and tried to ask him what was going on. When he had calmed down enough, he told her that he had just won $100,000 by playing at an online casino. He could not go to the bank because it was too late in the day. George had tried depositing his funds online, but the phone had died.
Susan laughed to herself. It was the craziest story that she had ever heard. She decided to call the police because this homeless man was obviously unstable. He needed to leave the building and stop bothering all of her customers. He obviously could not afford to buy anything, so there was no reason for him to remain in the store.
A few minutes later, Officer Gomez arrived on the scene. He spoke to Susan first to get her version of the events. While he spoke to Susan, George quietly and calmly waited for his turn. Then, Jerome Gomez turned to George. He explained that George could not make so much noise in the store. If he wanted to use a charger, Jerome had one in his police car that George could use.
George was delighted. He apologized to Susan and immediately followed Jerome to the car. Once his phone had charged for about 20 minutes, he was finally able to turn it on. To Jerome's total surprise, George had been telling the truth. He had actually won $100,000 by playing at an online casino. Now, Jerome felt terrible that he had not believe the poor man.

To make up for not believing him, Jerome offered to buy George dinner before dropping him off at the shelter. By this point, Jerome's shift was almost done anyway. George was excited and enjoyed eating with the officer.
Two weeks passed by. Jerome had just arrived at the police station when the receptionist handed him a letter. In the letter, George explained that he did not know Jerome's address. He had dropped off the letter at the police station in the hopes that it would get to Jerome. George thanked Jerome for his kindness. While Jerome could have arrested him, he had been kind to him instead. Because of his kindness, George wanted to give Jerome a check for $10,000.
Jerome wrote a letter thanking George. He was also curious about what George had done with all of the money. It turns out that the kind-hearted man had spent the rest of his money to create a center for homeless people. Instead of just giving them a bed to sleep in, it offered training on computers and technology. Through training, he could help other people have opportunities to find jobs and stop being homeless.

George was certainly one of the luckiest winners, but more than 1,531 have won money through completely free spins. Since the start of the giveaway, the casino has handed out more than $2,191,943.
