In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the woman was seen at a local market, busily sorting out her mangoes when McBliss approached her, after observing her from afar, he asked how much it would cost to buy all the mangoes.
Taken slightly aback by the question, the woman reluctantly asked for a few moments to calculate the cost of the panload of mangoes.
After a few minutes, she mentioned that everything summed up to GH¢220, which the content creator agreed to pay for.
McBliss later engaged the petty trader in a conversation during which she opened up about living with her grandchildren.
She mentioned that she takes care of her grandchildren with the little profits she earns from her mango business.
She also disclosed that she had suffered a stroke, which has affected one of her legs, rendering her partially disabled.
"I have no one to support me, and so this is what I do to cater for my grandchildren. I have been suffering from a stroke, which has affected my legs. But I still can't stay home," she said.
Touched by her words, McBliss reached into his bag, brought out two bundles of GH¢20 notes, and gave her the money to support her business.
Overwhelmed with emotion, the mango seller expressed profound gratitude and offered heartfelt prayers for the young philanthropist.
"May God bless and make you greater. May all your heart's desires be fulfilled. Thank you," she said.
