Alan Barnes, who is 4ft 6in, frail and visually impaired, suffered a broken collarbone when he was mugged outside his home in Low Fell, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, last Sunday.
The 67-year-old for the first time met beautician Katie Cutler, who voluntarily set up the Help Alan Barnes online donation page, which has received more than £227,000.
