The content creator went to the streets and met with the man, identified as Moses, and asked to celebrate the day with him. Once the rapport was established, they got into his car and began conversing.

Over the course of their conversation, Moses narrated the challenges he experiences on the street as an air freshener seller. He said that there are times he doesn’t make any sales for a whole day.

While he acknowledged this is very difficult for him, he reiterated that he doesn't let the circumstances stop him from providing for his family of five (four children and one wife).

He also disclosed that he is a Nigerian who came to Ghana with the hopes of advancing his football career; however, his dream never came to fruition.

Kweku also asked him how he sustained his physical disability. The man disclosed that this occurred after a car accident during one of his trips back to Nigeria when his car collided with a trailer.

They then went to a high-end restaurant where they ordered a couple of tasty meals and enjoyed quality time together.

After that, Kweku took Moses to a shopping mall and bought a couple of provisions for him. These included vegetable oil, rice, cornflakes, and other essential household items.

Along the trip, Moses, blown away by the generosity shown to him, kept on praising Kweku. He particularly stressed that he did not expect to be treated this way by a stranger.

For perspective, Kweku spent a total of GH₵2,165 on the provisions to make Moses feel special on this day. The culmination was the content creator, driving the hawker to his home, where he showered Kweku with prayers and appreciation.
