A beggar, half a century beg alms, after the death left a millionaire

Often on the street you can find old grandmothers, begging for alms. Of course, most of them really were in a difficult situation, but some do not a disaster.





The website tells the reader about one old woman who managed to accumulate a few million thanks to donations of caring people.

Almost blind old lady named Asia for fifty years engaged in that begging from passers-by money in the Saudi town of Jeddah. Most people genuinely felt sorry for her and often gave fairly large sums, especially during national holidays.

Long time Asia begging on the street together with his sister and mother and continued to do so after their death. Residents of Jeddah have thought that Granny really poor and forced to live on the street, but it was not so. Eisha died soon after his centennial anniversary, when bathed in my own house!

It turns out that Asia was able to save a lot of money, bought his own house and several houses in the town, where is allowed to live the same beggars like herself, on a Pro Bono basis. About her present wealth knew only a few people, including the neighbor of the old woman, Ahmed al-Saeedi. Male long helped the old woman and nursed her in her last years of her life, and that he eisha bequeathed his accumulated gold coins. For a long time the man tried to persuade Eixo to quit his job, but she turned them all down because they do not know how to do anything else.

Only after her death, the neighbor decided that he is obliged to inform the authorities about the present financial position of ASI. Those houses, which belonged to her, was at the mercy of urban management, but to evict tenants from them no hurry. Local authorities believe that they have no moral right to drive on the street people who eisha voluntarily allowed to live in their homes.
