The student explains why he gave his belongings
His gesture has gone viral and earned him the admiration of many people who commended it.
Speaking on the reason behind his action, the student said it was a lesson he learnt from his mum.
Richardson said she taught him that there are several persons in need and he thought it reasonable to give away the clothes instead of selling them off.
He said:
"As I was growing up, my mom always taught me there's a lot of people that are in need," he told the local news outlet. "Not everyone's blessed as I am."
"My Mom always had clothes and shoes on my back," he explained. "I can definitely take that for granted. Anything can be gone in the blink of an eye."
Brambling tech said:
"Wow, it's so moving. He helped because he felt this. Thanks, Elizabeth Leiba, for sharing. Statistics show a person doesn't need much to be happy. We often have too many clothes at home that are simply stored. So why not share it with those who will definitely wear it."

"Love has no Color and Kindness is Free. Now, even though his pants are sagging his heart is Righteous. This is an example of WHY we should judge the heart of a human. Simply Beautiful Footage!"
Thomas Royal commented:
"We give with our hearts and souls to make others feel like they are a part of society!"
