Searching For ‘Tom’
The post of Ellie got viral in a few hours only. Her message reached many hearts. Ellie was hoping that Tom would reveal his identity once he sees the post. Ellie explained, “everyone thinks Tom is great. There has been lots of speculation about who he might be, what he does, what he looks like, and friends “shotgunning” him as their future boyfriend.”
Grateful
Many people asked Ellie what her reaction would be on seeing that man who helped her. She answered, ‘I just want to thank Tom for his help. I’d tell him: “You’re a star and I really, really appreciate it”. I’d also like to return the money. There is something really lovely about the kindness of a stranger. If I meet him, drinks are on me.’ Would she ever be able to find ‘Tom’?
Facebook Post
She further stated in her Facebook post, “I have no idea who this man was or if he was sitting next to me but I wanted to show how grateful I am to him.” “If Tom does come forward, first of all I would like to give him back his money and then thank him for what he did. He deserves a lot of praise.”
Not Yet…
Four years have passed by but the true identity of ‘Tom’ is still unknown. Even though Ellie tried multiple times to find him, he never responded or perhaps he never got those messages. So will she give up on him?
Searching Him Out
Ellie has even come up with a campaign on Twitter that is #findtraintom. She has not lost hope and is still looking for him with the same enthusiasm. A spokesperson concerning Southern who happens to be the train operator says, ‘This would have been a frightening experience but thanks to our good Samaritan this young lady woke up in good hands with a taxi fare home.’
#Findtraintom
She is still looking for that person. Although there is no progress in her search she thanks all the people who shared her post in order to find out the man. She commented, ‘No updates yet but thanks to everyone who is helping with the hunt! “#findtraintom.’
