Shetara Sims is a single mom, practically down to her last dime.  She literally had seven dollars in the bank and had recently lost her job due to the Coronavirus.  She found a dollar in the grocery store parking lot and decided to buy a lottery ticket with it.

This is where you see what kind of heart this woman has.  Shetara won 100 dollars with her scratch off ticket, not a lot but to her that was a windfall.  She thought about it and talked it over with her daughter and knew what she wanted to do.  Shetara donated her winnings to a police officer there in Kansas City who had been injured in the line of duty.  But no good deed goes un noticed!  Even tho she did not leave her name or number with the donation the police department was able to track her down and set up a go fund me page for her.  To which she replied, "doesn't the officers family need this more".  No, they replied.  Its for her and its already in the thousands.
