Paul John has been a resident of Manchester since he moved here in 2001. He encountered a very tragic accident on 14th of March in Wythenshawe when he was struck by a car. Paul managed to push his 9-year old daughter to safety before he was struck by the car. After two days in hospital, Paul sadly passed away. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, aged 15 and 9. Even at this moment of insurmountable grief, the family have been so kind and thoughtful and donated Paul's organs, to give others a chance of life after his death.

Paul was an extremely soft-spoken and kind-hearted person who would always rush to help anyone in need. He was a wonderful father, a loving husband and a very good friend to everyone who knew him. Tributes have poured in to the Wythenshawe dad-of-two, who ‘always had a smile on his face.’

At this extremely difficult time, we feel it is our prime duty to stand by the family and support them in every which way we can. We would like to start this fund-raising to support the family. I would like to request you to all to please donate generously to this cause.
