When Mark Hamblin wrote the words "work wanted" on a scrap of cardboard while begging on the streets of Bridgwater he did not expect the response he received, going viral on social media.
The tradesman, who had found himself suddenly homeless, was photographed with the sign in a local online paper. His story went on to get more than 100,000 views on TikTok and he got dozens of job offers.
Now he is working for a roofing firm in Somerset.
"I'm really grateful for the guy who employed me," Mr Hamblin said. "I am really grateful to the guy that took that photograph and put it on Bridgwater Matters. There might be other people out there that can take inspiration from this story."
