"So I was randomly scrolling through Twitch streamers with no views," Caetano explains.
"And I found this sweet man with Cerebral Palsy who was talking and streaming to nobody.
"So I decided to wish him a Happy Thanksgiving."
As shown in the clip above, Caetano wishes a happy thanksgiving to the streamer thefallenancienthunter - who is delighted to receive what was probably his first comment on stream.
After the brief but wonderful exchange, the Twitch streamer's followers went up by thousands and at the time of writing, is currently on 5.4k.
His stream also managed to go from zero to 6.4k.
"As someone with Cerebral Palsy it always makes me happy to find a streamer with the same condition," one person commented.
Another added: "The way he said “how you doing” was so sweet 🥺🥺🥺."
"I don't have a twitch account. But I'm praying for his success 🥺," a third person wrote.
"Kindness will save us, love will heal us. Thank you for being so kind," another added.
Someone else said: "This made me so happy. You took a moment. He is changed. Every one of use who saw it is now different. One moment. One person. 🥰."
For those unaware, the NHS website explains: "Cerebral palsy (CP) is the name for a group of lifelong conditions that affect movement and co-ordination.
"It's caused by a problem with the brain that develops before, during or soon after birth.
"There's currently no cure for cerebral palsy, but treatments are available to help people with the condition be as active and independent as possible."
This comes as England footballer Jack Grealish, who scored during his first appearance in this year’s World Cup, has revealed that his sister Hollie - who has CP - is his ‘best friend’.
Opening up about his family during an interview with BBC Sport, Grealish said: “My little brother passed away when I was young.
“My little sister has cerebral palsy, so she, you know, she’s like my best friend. I speak to her all the time.”
When told that Hollie must be ‘so proud’ of her big brother, he said: “She is. She’ll live with my mum forever, so my mum was always looking after the kids, whereas my dad would take me and my brother to Villa Park on a Saturday.
“On the Sunday he’d just drive me then to wherever it was, wherever I was playing. And not everyone’s parents did that and he’s so proud of me - and he ain’t, like, shy of saying it, he’s always tells me and stuff how proud he is of me.”
