OMG!

A stranger meant to donate $15 to a GoFundMe page. He accidentally gave more than $15,000.

Jim Houck felt compelled to help a woman he had never met.

That’s how his problem started.

The retired 72-year-old clicked on a GoFundMe page for a woman who lives more than 1,500 miles away from him, considered his limited budget and donated $15.

Or so he thought.

Instead, he somehow donated $15,787.

“My first thought was, ‘This didn’t happen,’ ” he said of the moment he realized his mistake a few days after making the donation. “Then it was, ‘How could this possibly happen?’ ”
