Shaq Pays Off Stranger’s Engagement Ring Debt

[@IamHimathy420]

I can personally attest to his generosity, he bought my daughters guitars years ago at a music store in Georgia, he is the man, generally a good hearted person who does it for the love of it, much respect Shaq. You inspired me to make 25 care packs for the homeless this passed Winter. I'm going to try and make 50 this Winter, and 100 the next. God willing.
