Homeless man viciously beaten by teen thugs gets a new lease on life thanks to kind-hearted locals

Locals were absolutely outraged when they found out about the assault and they immediately launched a campaign online to raise funds and to remove him from the street.
PUBLISHED OCT 5, 2018

Faith in humanity has been restored. A homeless man in Blackpool, UK, who had been cruelly beaten up by a gang of young men was taken in by some kind-hearted locals who then gave him a haircut, medicine, glasses, and also a place to stay. 55-year-old Igor Gieci had been attacked by three teens who kicked and punched him violently. They also tore up his tent and started hitting the man with his own crutches in an attack that lasted a whole 20 minutes. Locals were absolutely outraged when they found out about the assault and they immediately launched a campaign online to raise funds for Gieci to remove him from the street while he recovers from his wounds.

The Daily Mail reported that in only two days, strangers from everywhere rallied to get him a nice haircut, buy him some prescription glasses and also to take him to a pharmacy so that he could get his medicines. A property developer also went the extra mile and gave him an apartment to sleep in temporarily while others donated more than £1,000  so that Gieci could get a permanent place to stay.
