Follow spoken words in real time.
A nine-year-old boy named Ethan was selling drinks on a street in Los Angeles with his aunt. A Canadian video creator called Zachery Dereniowski, known as @mdmotivator, filmed Ethan and asked how much money he needed. Ethan said he needed US$150 to stop work for the day, but Dereniowski gave him US$1,000 instead.
Dereniowski gives support and gifts in his videos to help people who have money problems. He wanted to help Ethan because Ethan was working to help his family with expenses.
After speaking with Ethan’s father, Dereniowski gave another surprise: tickets for Ethan and his father to a FIFA World Cup match at SoFi Stadium. Later, Ethan watched Canada play South Africa and saw Canada win. Many people watched the video online and liked the kind action.
