Black Single Mom with $7 to Her Name Donates Lottery Winnings to Police Officer Shot on Duty
An African American single mom who lost her job during the CCP coronavirus pandemic lockdowns, and was down to her last $7, donated her winnings from a lottery ticket to a police officer who was shot in the line of duty. When the police department set up a donation link to help her out, she expressed disbelief and asked, “Don’t the officer and his family need it more?” This is how America heals, everyone.
Shetara Sims, from Kansas City, MO, found a dollar in a parking lot of a grocery store and used it to buy a scratch off lottery ticket. Sims won $100, but instead of using the money to take care of her family, her daughter Rakiya suggested that they give the money to a police officer who had been shot on July 2 and was still in intensive care.
The Kansas City Police Department shared the story on their Facebook page, and hundreds of people asked how they could help Sims.

As of this writing, the donation link had raised just a hair over $40,000 in five days.
You really gotta read this story. From the GoFundMe link.
I’m not crying, you’re crying.

She is a good woman. And sadly, the MSM wouldn’t touch this story with a 10 foot pole.

Bravo, Ms. Sims. You are a great American, an inspiration to us all. Your selfless act will bring healing to our land. God Bless You!
A positive story for once. Breath of fresh air. Thanks.
The widow’s mite..
damn something in my eye.
What a kind thing to do.
And perhaps the best part of this story...her 12 year old daughter made the suggestion to donate to the officer.
Her 12-year-old daughter was with her and said, “Mom, we should give that to the police officer who got shot.” She agreed immediately. With her current financial hardship, we urged her to keep the money. She refused, saying the officer’s family needed it, and police needed to know they were supported.There is hope out there...
Her eyes reveal her dignity and true goodness.
Beautiful story.
I wish this wonderful woman was my next door neighbor. Just being in her presence would make me a better person.
Gofundme is 50,000. Me and the wife in for 100.00!
This is a very nice story, but I’m just too jaded and cynical.
Woman down to her last $7 finds a $1 bill, proceeds to buy a lottery ticket (who would do that if you were down to your last $7?), wins $100 and donates to a wounded officer. Then gets a $40,000 GoFundMe windfall?
File this under “Too good to be true.” and “Sounds really fishy.”
The MSM is morally at fault in the deliberate victimization of millions of Americans in poor neighborhoods, where scoundrels benefit from the effects of a deliberate incitement against the law enforcement that is desperately needed. God bless this good women. She apparently understands what most of the media has chosen to totally ignore.
BSMM - Black Single Mom’s Matter!!!!!
Invite her to the Republican convention!
Gave anonymously , and now will see that her selfless giving will be rewarded by our Father . Thank you Lord God for showering this woman with your grace. This honestly brought a tear of joy to my eye . Praise and glory to God and this beautiful lady.
I can see Jesus in her eyes.
The $40,000 was the amount raised for the shot officer wasn't it? Not her?
