WTHR carried the same report that the young boy is now being celebrated around the world for his generosity. Teo recounted the details of what transpired at one of the grocery stores in Covington. He told WLWT-TV:
“I saw I wanted to help the guy. I saw that he didn’t have the money for all the groceries that he wanted. The cashier told him he would have to put some of the things back, so I just thought in my head I would give him this $35 so he could have all the food that he wants.”
