Help Tom to get back to work

This year has been a tough one for my brother in law, Tom and family. Tom, a highly skilled carpenter has had to stop work to care for his three daughters (my nieces) aged 9, 5 and 3 while his partner (my sister) has been in hospital. My nieces are the most lovely, happy little people and Tom is doing an incredible job of keeping their routines going and maintaining normality while the family goes through this very difficult time.

When Tom stopped work he had to hand back the van he used as part of his employment contract. Given his current situation, the only way Tom can get back to carpentry now is to be self-employed so that he can arrange his hours around the girls. But to do this he needs his own vehicle to carry his tools - and that’s where we need your help!

Tom is doing an amazing job at home but getting back to work to support the girls financially is now critical. The family are doing their best and we have looked at all options for support - but the van is the one crucial thing Tom desperately needs in order to move forward. Times are tough for everyone - but if you can please consider donating any amount to help raise the money for Tom to buy a van so he can build up his own business again we would be incredibly grateful.

All donations will go directly into Tom's account so he can buy a vehicle as soon as a second hand one (a Nissan Navara or similar) becomes available, and get back to work as soon as possible. Any amount, however small, will help us get there! 

We would be so grateful if you could also share this and spread the word about our mission to get Tom moving (literally) again and for the family to find happier and healthier times. 

Thank you so much
