When questioned on why he had pulled over to see what the man wanted, the senior at Florida A&M University spoke about what his mother had taught him growing up.
“As I was growing up, my mom always taught me there’s a lot of people that are in need,” Mr Richardson told local news outlet WTXL. “Not Everyone’s blessed as I am. My Mom always had clothes and shoes on my back. I can definitely take that for granted. Anything can be gone in the blink of an eye.”
He also told them that he had all of those things in the back of his car because he was currently in the process of moving house.
