West Ham’s co-owner is looking for the homeless hero in Manchester to give him a home and cash

Steve’s act of compassion has touched millions.  Just one of the many heroes.

The stirring words from the vigil in Manchester combined with the public’s remarkable acts of kindness in the face of these cowardly attacks has reinforced one thing, Britain and Manchester will not be divided.

The city, culture and charm of Manchester will not change in the aftermath of such heinous and cowardly acts that are solely trying to eradicate the very principles and ideas that make this city so great.

While every single member of the public has has been deeply moved by the tragic deaths of the 22 people that attended Ariana Grande’s concert, various random acts of compassion and kindness have helped comfort people in this trying time.

One story that deeply resonated with the public concerned a homeless man named Steve that heroically intervened to help various people that were injured. He also provided some potentially life-saving treatment to one woman after she suffered a horrific gash to her abdomen.

Since Steve’s story went viral, the fundraising page to provide him with a home has almost raised £10,000.

Granted, in the face of such horror, we’ve seen thousands of ‘normal’ people perform extraordinary acts of kindness and heroism, but Steve’s story has touched everybody.

In fact, West Ham United’s co-owner, David Sullivan, is desperately looking to find Steve because he wants to give him “six months free accommodation and a little bit of money to help him on his way”

Sullivan was a guest on BBC Radio 5 and we would absolutely love to see Steve receiving the plaudits that he rightfully deserves.

At such a trying time, remember that there are some genuinely inspiring and kind people among us.

Steve wasn’t motivated by money, fortune or fame, he simply said that it’s “instinct to go and help, if someone needs your help.”

If you know Steve, then maybe you can help.
