I gave $1000 to a passenger in need

I saved all my cash tips over $5 until I had $1,000 cash, then gave it away to a passenger who seemed like he could really use it. If you want to see me give more money away to those in need, consider donating on my website (ridingwithmarc.com) or sponsoring my Youtube channel or podcast. This new episode is from my Youtube channel (youtube.com/ridingwithmarc). Video is available on Spotify for this podcast, or on Youtube.
