Story

This is an URGENT appeal to try and raise £2500 that is needed to buy back the most treasured possessions of a former Royal Marine.

Joe was forced to pawn two of his most treasured items, a watch a bracelet that he had bought many years ago for his wife from money he earned whilst doing high risk security work in Iraq, to pay for desperately needed items in their specially adapted home. Joe was unable to get help when hee needed it most.

Joe is very distressed at the thought of losing these treasured items forever and has just over ONE MONTH to raise the £2500 needed to get the items back from the pawnbroker.

I am appealing to the many wonderful supporters in the UK to donate just £1 of their money. If 2500 people do this, we will be able to give the money to Joe so that he can get back the items he was forced to sell.

This will mean a huge amount to Joe who is now 60% disabled after being caught in an bomb blast in Northern Ireland in 1980. He has had to undergo numerous operations and now struggles to walk. He tried to get help to buy furniture and carpets for their home but was unable to get the help he needed and deserved.

I am determined that Joe is not let down again!

Please help by donating JUST £1 to this appeal and help us to bring some much deserved joy to a hero's life!

Thank you!
