A 2003 kindness:
Pop singer Vanessa Carlton, then 22, must be a good influence on her then 38 year old boyfriend Third Eye Blind singer Stephan Jenkins. The pair was strolling in New York when they encountered a homeless man with a sign that read “Just hungry.” Vanessa impulsively pulled out a wad of money that looked like at least $300, and handed it to the homeless man. The man started to cry and kept repeating “God bless you!” Stephan and Vanessa walked away smiling and the guy went to a deli to buy something to eat.
