Footie boss Bill pays up to aid Alfie

-

GENEROUS Bill Kenwright BRAIN-DAMAGED toddler Alfie Evans reaches out to his dad Tom Evans in a heart-rending photo posted just hours after a court ruled doctors can let the tot die.

Devastated Tom, 21, shared the Instagram image with the world as cash poured to hire lawyers in a bid to save 21-month-old Alfie.

He then revealed: “We have had a massive donation from Bill Kenwright, chairman of Everton.”

The High Court backed Liverpool’s Alder Hey Hospital which said Alfie would not recover from a mystery condition which has destroyed much of his brain.

Tom and Alfie’s mum Kate James, 20, hope a treatment can be found. A JustGiving appeal hit £65,000 last night.
