Last week he wrote a note and left it outside his tent offering to do ‘anything to earn a living’.
The note was spotted by Charlotte Howard, 16, who said it "broke her heart". She then decided to take a photo of it and share it on Facebook. Along with a friend, she is now trying to set up Anthony in a caravan.
Charlotte said she spotted the caravan being sold for £100. She and a friend Toni Pearce decided to set up a GoFundMe page to raise £300 towards buying the caravan and kitting it out for Anthony.
She added: ‘There is a caravan for sale and it cost £100. The goal is £300 as it needs some work done and we’d need to get some basic necessities for him. Any money will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.’
Nelson Smith, a landscape gardener has also contacted Anthony about working as a gardener.
Anthony said: ‘The reaction after Charlotte posted the note was weird - I was suddenly bombarded with things.’
Anthony’s now getting a caravan kitted out for him and a new job.
Check out the video above to read the letter that changed everything for Anthony.
