The student Dominique Harrison-Bentzen has now decided to show her gratitude to the homeless hero by raising thousands of pounds for the "homeless hero".
She has already raised £16,500 through her online fundraising page after the student's campaign went viral.
She said "After losing my bank card and having no money in the early hours, a homeless man approached me with his only change of three pounds and insisted I took it to pay for a taxi. I didn't take the money but I was touched by such a kind gesture from a man who faces ignorance every day".
The man has now been identified as Robbie who has been homeless for seven months in the town of Preston in northern England.
Harrison-Bentzen unveiled he campaign to the world to raise money for Robbie and asked everyone to give three pounds, the same amount that Robbie had offered.
"Together our small act of kindness can change someone's life this Christmas and finally get him off the streets safe and warm," wrote Harrison-Bentzen. When TOI tried to open the page, it said "we are experiencing unusually heavy traffic. Please come back later".
As many as 300 people had already donated to the cause till Wednesday night.
The incident took place on December 4 when 22-year-old Dominique Harrison realised she didn't have money to pay a taxi.
Dominique said "I ended up posting a status on Facebook to try and find him the next day and it turns out I'm not the only person he has helped".
Robbie appears to have come to the aid of many in Preston city centre returning wallets to pedestrians and offering his scarf to keep people warm.
