A kind-hearted corner shop owner buys and delivers groceries for elderly shoppers who are struggling during the cost of living crisis. Dad-of-two Divyesh Patel has been serving customers as the owner of Tower Stores in New Brighton and Wirral since 2007 and says he just wants to make local people smile.
Divyesh says a lot of his older customers have been hit particularly hard by the cost of living crisis, leaving them without money for food. To help them, he orders what they need and delivers it to them, and they can pay him for them when they get given more cash.
As well as helping around eight to 10 older customers in this way, Divyesh also does a lot for charity and local schools. He most recently partnered with a local school to provide breakfasts for hungry children, the Liverpool ECHO reports.
