Two friends made the man’s day by taking him on a helicopter ride as a “thank you” for his hard work.
Paige Goldstein and Chantelle Wright are in their 20s and currently working remotely and traveling the world.
SWNS reported that the two, who now live in Cape Town, South Africa, had been talking to a man named Kasa, who works as a security guard at their apartment, about a previous helicopter trip they had taken.

During the discussion, Casa told the girls that she had never been on a helicopter, much less on a plane.
So, on Casa’s next day off, his friends invited him to a surprise meeting and took him to a helipad for an amazing helicopter experience over his hometown.

Goldstein, who is from Boston, Massachusetts, told SWNS that the two “got to know him and thought it would be a nice gesture.”
“He said he wanted to pass this on to his future grandchildren.”
Casa, a world traveler, said he was shocked by the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
