  Father Maurice Chase used a special way to celebrate his 90th birthday.The Catholic priest(神父)took $15,000 in cash to Los Angeles' Skid Row(贫民区)and gave it away.Twenty wheelchair-bound people received $100 bills, while the rest received $1to $3 each.

  “I come out here to tell them that God loves them and I love them and that some one is concerned about them,”Chase said.
