Moved by her struggles, he beckoned her to approach and asked her to sit beside him, where they engaged in a conversation about her life.
The meat pie seller said she was called Mercy Owusua and added that he was just recovering from a stroke which got her bedridden for close to two years.
Mercy, who said she was from the Angloga Junction in Kumasi, told Fresh Tubor that she was hawking on the street to cater for her three-year-old child.
When asked if she had no one to cater for her and her baby, Mercy said she lived with the father of the child.
She added that she decided to hawk meat pie to support her man to raise their child together because he was also struggling financially.
"If I don't go out to sell, my child will not eat," she said.
Touched by this, the Kumasi-based content creator asked Mercy what he could do to help her, to which she replied that she would be grateful if he could help her set up a provision shop.
Fresh Tubor bought all the remaining meat pie in the plastic container that Mercy carried and promised to use his social media pages to solicit public support for her.
