Help replace stolen goods for a wonderful lady

Donation protected
Saw this post in our Manchester community page, and I really feel like we as a city can help this lady in such an awful time! this lady tragically lost her son , and has dedicated her life to teaching water safety , but horrifically had all her equipment stolen from her car this week. Let’s come together to raise the funds and more to replace everything she needs to continue her amazing work!

A message to whom it concerns.

Thanks for breaking into my car while I was treating my daughter to our first night out together in so long last night.

It was very kind of you to ransack my car.

I'm so angry and upset.
What makes you think you have the right to take what doesn't belong to you?

I've dedicated 10 years to water safety. The stuff you took is so worthless to you.

I hope you got home ready to see your ill gotten gains to realise it was all worthless (to you)

Thank you for not taking my sons picture even though you've damaged it

A plea from the heart...
The stuff you took is pretty worthless to you but priceless to me.
Please please just return it to a local fire station or inform me of a safe place that you are willing to drop it off and no further action will be taken. ( the alternative is I will get the cctv footage and your face / faces will be on social media for all to admire.... Then I will push for you to be charged with
a) endangering lives & b) theft of life saving equipment.

Let me tell you a little about the stuff you stole apart from the fact it's taken me a decade to get together. The 2 bags contain water safety props that I take into schools in memory of my son Dylan.
A dry suit
A bouncy aid
A life jacket
9 throw bags
A practice throw line target
A Manchester fire and rescue grey fleece
Pop up banners, posters,
A man's jacket
Lots of doing it for Dylan posters
A box of doing it for Dylan wrist bands.

Letters from children who I've visited I think this one hurts the most... The other things are replaceable over time.
The letters, messages and pictures from the children I've spoken to are not replaceable ...
The list of items that you've taken goes on and on....

I teach water safety to children free of charge and for 10 years I've funded all of what I do myself. On a low income this hasn't been easy to achieve but never the less I've done it.

I feel that you've stolen a part of me. Apart from trashing my car and taking worthless to you items what have you achieved?

Ohh and I found my heart spray thanks...

If you live, work or are close to the Oxford Street ncp car park in Manchester and have any cctv footage please would you look over it.

Its not been an easy haul to be honest, 2 pretty big bags, a fairly huge box, lots of throwbags, 2 jackets....

Maybe you was in a car I'm not sure....
But I do know that this could not have been physically carried by 1 person... Trust me I've tried and failed many occasions.

Please help, share all I want is my stuff back.
