Boy gifts classmate who wears same clothes to school 3 bags of designer wears
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a boy had gifted 3 bags of designer clothes to his classmate who always wore the same cloth to school.
In speaking with the media, Brayden revealed that while he is not super close to him, he never liked the way he was being picked on by people.
Brayden said the boy did not have many clothes because his parents are poor.
He said:
“I remember last year he only had 2 outfits cause he just didn’t have the money to buy clothes.”
After people learnt of Brayden’s act of love, many wanted to give the student more. They set up a fundraiser and have so far gathered more than $7000 (N2,880,360).
