PayPal is one of the world’s largest online payment companies - valued at over $300 billion.
Its service is available in more than 200 countries and has over 400 million consumer and merchant accounts.
And it all started with a struggling student who was ditched by his girlfriend and thrown out of his own place before meeting two strangers who would turn his life around.

Now if you say for a day then he'll survive that if you tell him to survive a week like that he might not even make it alive depending on the location y'all put them in.
