Disabled son gets generous chicken nuggets delivery after mum feared he would starve

A disabled son has been given a year's supply of chicken nuggets - after his mum feared he would starve without them.

John Morgan, 21, gets through a bag of frozen nuggets a day because they are the only food he can tolerate.

But mum Sharon Morgan, 45, struggled to find enough of them in the shops due to coronavirus bulk buying restrictions and pleaded for help from fellow shoppers.

Supermarket giant Asda learned of John's struggle, and have promised to give him a year's supply.

Wheelchair-bound John suffers from a severe muscle wasting disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - and he can only eat Asda's own-brand battered chicken.

Sharon, of Ely, Cardiff, said: "It's just overwhelming. I asked how I could set up payments and they just said 'no, it's for John'."

John's dad Paul Morgan said: "We have some amazing news regarding John and his chicken nuggets. Thank you so much to Asda they have donated one year's supply to John absolutely free of charge.

"Thank you so much to everyone who shared the post, donated packets, you have made this all happen.

Emily Hill, a manager at Asda, said: “When we heard about John’s condition and how he can only tolerate Asda’s own brand chicken nuggets, we were really pleased that we could help John and his family with a supply to get him through these unprecedented times.”

John, who is a 999 superfan of all emergency services, has collected more than 2,000 emergency service items from around the world.

His collection includes Sheriff badges from the USA, Russian police hats and a blanket with 130 emergency service patches on it.

He's also received parcels and packages from New Zealand and Moldova.

John's dream is to one day make it into the Guinness Book of World Records.
