He concocted a plan and shared it on social media.
"I started a GoFundMe page to raise money for billboards to put up his face all around the city of Edmonton," he said.
Elsaghir had no idea it would blow up the way it did, but the money started pouring in.
He said he really didn’t think logistically it would be possible to do the billboards so he came up with another idea — he wanted to put the money raised toward charity.

JD Lewis from CJAY 92 said there are ways to make this happen.
"This is a brilliant idea and we probably know people who do billboards. And lo and behold we do," Lewis said,
Lewis’s co-host Jesse Modz noted CJAY’s parent company, Bell Media, owns several billboards in Edmonton.
"We asked our boss if we could put up billboards of Matt Tkachuk in Edmonton and donate all of the money raised on the GoFundMe to the A.L.S. foundation that the guys had started and he said yes," he said.
