West Bromwich Albion footballer, James McClean, has offered to pay for a caravan for a pregnant homeless woman.
Mr McClean offered to buy the woman, known only as Lisa, a caravan when he learned of her plight through a national newspaper.
According to the Express & Star of the West Midlands, Lisa, 36, is believed to be five months pregnant with twins and currently living in a tent under a bridge with her partner Wally near the River Medway in Kent.
The Northern Irish-born footballer said “no babies should be living homeless” and that he’d be “willing to buy the caravan himself”.
Mr McClean made his generous offer via his wife, Erin’s, Facebook profile:
The former Sunderland and Wigan Athletic player posted: “Look I know it ain’t much and even if it’s temporary until a house is found but being a father myself no babies should live homeless so I would be willing to purchase this caravan for them and keep them out of the cold.”
The 27-year-old Irish international attached an advert for a £1,750 Swift Corvette caravan for sale in Maidstone, Kent.
