DETROIT, Mich. (WPVI) -- Abe Hagenston isn't just any homeless panhandler.



The Detroit man looks for people to hire him for odd jobs on his website.



The site also takes donations through credit cards.



The 42-year-old has big ideas that include an app to weed out fake panhandlers.



And, a non-profit to benefit all homeless people.
