Teenage Nigerian boy, Samuel, recently went viral on social media for selling plastic waste and cartons to raise money for tiling tools.
The heartwarming story took a turn when a content creator, Bayuztv, helped Samuel, leaving him in tears.
His emotional mother attributed their chance meeting with the content creator to GOD’s mercy following her fervent prayers in December when they had nothing to eat.
Samuel, who learned tiling years ago, needed tools like a cutting machine and mallet to start working professionally.
With no father and his mother’s failed petty trade, the 19-year-old boy who kept struggling to collect waste to earn N1,000-N2,000 per bag, was surprised by the content creator with a haircut, new clothes, a meal, and some of the tools he needed.
Samuel was also given a phone, N50,000 cash, and his mother received N1 million.
The gesture sparked a wave of support, with fans donating over N8.05 million to help Samuel and his family.
Samuel was also awarded a scholarship covering his education up to university level, securing his future while his mother was given adequate for supplies and a large sum of money to return to business.
