Elder Dobri Dobrev of Bulgaria, “The Saint of Bailovo,” (1914)​

This humble ascetic and icon of charity came under the spotlight when it was revealed that for many years he had walked over 20 kms each day to reach Sofia from his home in the village of Bailovo to sit at the entrance of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, with a plastic cup in his hand and beg for money which he then donated to orphanages; charities & churches. It has been calculated that he has collected and donated approx. BGN 40,000 ($24,700 today) for the cathedral in Sofia, BGN 10,000 ($12,350 today) for the Sts. Cyril and Methodius Church in Bailovo, and BGN 25,000 ($31,000 today) for the restoration of the Eleshnishki Monastery of the Mother of God located to the east of Sofia, and the local church of the Gorno Kamartsi village.... whilst living frugally off his 100 euro monthly pension

I hope his goodness and charity will give the Msr and Bishop reason to nominate him for beatification. In my mind someone so selfless epitomizes sainthood.
