In a complete reversal of forturne, John Helinski, 62, found a forgotten bank account with enough money for a downpayment on a home, after spending years sleeping in a cardboard box, according to an article in Yahoo.
The account was found when police and social security workers attempted to find Helinski temporary accommodation in a homeless shelter – and needed identification.
Helinski is now in temporary accommodation – but has enough money to buy himself permanent accommodation, and plans to move out.
