According to a Twitter user identified as @karidas_, his mother went through a rough time to raise him and he would often hear his mother cry herself to bed on many occasions.

Karidas was finally able to put a smile on the face of his mother after building her a surprise home of her own after inviting her over for a short stay with him.

Read his narration below …

“I’ve been debating with myself on wether I should share this: I hope this inspires someone out there.
I’ve been working towards this moment my entire life, my mom and I went through real poverty when I was growing up. There were nights where there simply just wasn’t any food left. I’d hear her crying herself to sleep sometimes, and she’d put her head on the pillow because she thought I wouldn’t hear anything. Ever since I was a little kid, I made it a point that I would take care of her.

Man narrates how he surprised his mother with a new house

At the end of last year I asked her to come stay with me for “Covid Reasons”, but really I just wanted time to build & surprise her with a new house. On Mother’s day a few weeks ago she came back & I welcomed her to her new home & invited her close friends. Together with my friend Kabelo (an architect) we designed & oversaw the execution of the house.
Really grateful to God for His grace.”
