Some would call him a bit loose in the head.
He started collecting in 1985 as a way to teach his son, Brent, good financial practices. Jennings and his only child would collect the papers, sell them, and put every penny into savings.
But it's what he did with the $400,000 he earned that made him a very big man. He gave it all away. Every dime he earns, CNN reported, goes to Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries.
God bless.
Johnny Jennings said he plans to keep raising money — and giving it away — for as long as he can. He said he’ll keep recycling “until I turn my toes up.”
