August 2, 20214 yr Hi my name is Justin and I am trying to help a young man please have a read and help if you would like thanks Hi. This page has been set up to help Dan, a young, disabled, man, to get back to his work helping others. Just as Dan was getting back on his feet, working to help others, he was the victim of callous thieves. Dan was doing good for others; he was helping other disabled people. He was paying kindness forward. The selfish act of stealing his tools, and wrecking his van, and stealing all of his tools has stopped his kindness and shattered his confidence. Please help us rebuild, not just his ability to be a handyman again, but his confidence. A little background: My work mates, myself and our friends have helped, and supported, Dan for 5 years. In this time, we taught him the skills needed to be a handyman/builder. We have taken him out on jobs, where he worked hard and got stuck in. With our help Dan got into college. Between us we got his confidence up. We gave him some of our tools, as well as buying him new ones. The van that was destroyed in the theft was given to him by me. Dan was doing good; he was going out on jobs to other disabled people and doing work for them at cost. He wasn’t doing this for profit, this was to help him by helping others. This has all been stopped by one cruel, thoughtless act. Your donation is much appreciated, and will go towards ‘paying it forward’ . Thank You https://gofund.me/9b00b171
August 3, 20214 yr Author Hi is there no one out there willing to help or share some helpful advice on what we can do to get the funds we need to help him thanks justin
August 5, 20214 yr Hi Justin - You have posted a comment and included a go fund me site, if people want to donate they will, if they do not they wont. Given you are new to the forum and your first post (however well intentioned) is requesting money I dont quite know what you were expecting. WRT advice for raising funds I would suggest a localised approach in the community where the individual has had a direct impact and therefore continued future benefit might generate a greater reponse as people a) know him b) can see the results of his work
