BREAKING: Rock legend Robert Plant has donated £200,000 to rebuild a home for an elderly couple raising dozens of children — but when the couple walked in, a more unexpected gift left them speechless…
Robert Plant has stepped into the spotlight for a reason far removed from the stage. This time, the rock icon isn’t making headlines for music—but for a stunning
act of compassion that’s left an entire community in tears.
Earlier this year, /8-year-old Margaret and 80-year-old John Whitmore lost their
century-old farmhouse in Shropshire to a devastating electrical fire. The elderly
couple, kown locally as “Nana and Papa Whitmore,” are no ordinary grandparents.
Over the past 35 years, they have fostered more than 40 children—many with
special needs or difficult backgrounds—providing them a safe, loving home when
10 one else would.

Whitmores were left with no way to rebuild. Word of their plight began spreading
quietly across the region. But no one expected that a rock legend from nearby West
Bromwich would hear about it—and act.
