VALLEY STREAM, N.Y., Dec. 12 (UPI) -- A group of workers at a New York state Best Buy store pooled their spare cash to buy a WiiU video game system for a boy who would come in to play every day.

A video posted to YouTube by Raheim Storr, a manager at the Best Buy in Valley Stream, posted a video to YouTube showing the employees presenting the Nintendo WiiU to a boy seen playing the store's display system.

"On behalf of all of us here at Best Buy, we got you a WiiU," an employee says in the video. "This is something we did for you. Everyone here that you see, we all got together and chipped in so you could have it."

The boy appears at first to be skeptical of the offer, but he begins to smile as it becomes clear the offer is genuine.

Storr said workers also bought the boy the new Super Smash Bros. game and gave him a ride home so he wouldn't have to walk home with his gift.

"This video was taken in the Valley Stream Best Buy, this kid came in every single day to play the display WiiU, the employees in this store saw an opportunity to make a child smile and did just that. They chipped in and purchased a WiiU for him with their own money," the video's description reads.
