Rod Stewart helped trainee nurse recover from Covid with £5000 gift

A trainee nurse struck down by Covid-19 has returned to the wards after her recovery was helped by Sir Rod Stewart.

Natasha Jenkins, 36, was gifted £5000 by the Scots rocker after she was left on a ventilator fighting for her life half-way through her studies.

But a video of her heartwarming reunion with her family was shared online – and spotted by rocker Rod who sent the generous cheque.

The singer wrote: “A small gift to help you through the rough times.”

Eight months later, Natasha has been able to return to her dream job in Barry, south Wales.

She said: “My lungs are a bit distended but it’s to be expected.

"I was gobsmacked with the cheque. I’ve joined a gym which is helping me physically and mentally.”
