据《国际先驱报》报道,自十年前产生这一想法以来,斯奈德已经积攒了21,495美元遗失的硬币,重量超过一公吨。斯奈德每天四点左右起床,为了捡硬币几乎走遍了整个小郡。有时会从当地洗车行的吸尘器里捡到几枚,有时在看猫的路上也能在沿途的自动售货机旁捡到几枚。他告诉《布雷登顿先驱报》,他每周要走上45到48英里的路,平均每天能捡到5.60美元的硬币。
After beginning the collection process, Snyder set an initial goal of $10,000 for himself, according to BayNews9. Once he surpassed his second goal of $20,000, however, he decided to give it all away to the Gulf Shore Animal League, a nonprofit organization run entirely by volunteers that spends the majority of their time helping cats in Manatee County. Cheryl Wade, the president of the organization, told the Bradenton Herald that Synder's donation is the largest they have ever received from a single individual。
据美国有线电视资讯频道BayNews9报道,捡硬币后不久老人就给自己设下了目标,起初要攒下10,000美元,而后则要攒下20.000美元。当手中的硬币已经超过20,000美元时,斯奈德决定把所有钱捐给一个叫作海湾海岸动物联盟的非赢利组织。该组织完全由一群志愿者管理,他们的大部分时间都花在了帮助孟那提郡的猫上。联盟主席谢丽尔·韦德告诉《布雷登顿先驱报》,斯奈德的捐款是他们收过的来自个人的最大笔捐款。
