The 19-year-old explained that he needed money for his work tools, which was why he was doing the job, and also that his parents did not know about it.

He mentioned needing about three tools for his work, as he is a tiler who learned the trade years ago but hasn’t officially started working yet.

Speaking about the tools he needed, he said:

“Cutting machine, mallet, pitches, and knife.”

Moved by Samuel’s hard work, the content creator surprised him by taking him to a barber shop for a new haircut and to a boutique where new clothes were purchased for him.

He was also taken to a restaurant, where he was seen enjoying a meal. Afterwards, Samuel was surprised with one of the tools he needed for his work as a tiler.
