Why this Londoner lets strangers sleep on a cot he set up on his front porch [Video]

One woman cried when Jonathon Phillips offered to order her a vegetarian pizza. 

Another wondered what kind of ulterior motive he had when he offered her a place to spend the night and a shower.

“Maybe I’m going to make a difference in that person’s life. Maybe they will realize that there is somebody out there that cares or that would sit and listen and help,” said Phillips.
