Hi my names Dan …..Yesterday (9th april ), while I was out with my dogs. My life was turned upside down.

An individual came to my home and carried out an unprovoked attack with an axe. My work van has been completely written off, all the windows in my motorhome were smashed, front lights smashed and even the windows at the front of my house and my front door were destroyed.

The total damage is estimated to be around £25,000.

To make matters worse, I’ve since found out that my insurance will not cover the window damage to my motorhome, despite having third party, fire and theft cover. I’m now facing a significant financial burden at a time when I can least afford it.

My work van being written off means I’m currently unable to work, which has left me without an income while I try to sort everything out and find a replacement vehicle.

The motorhome means a lot to me and my 10-year-old daughter. It’s something we use to get away, spend quality time together, and have a break from everything. Right now, that’s been taken away from us too.

This all comes after an already difficult period in my life following a relationship breakdown seven months ago. To go through something like this on top of everything else has been incredibly hard to process.

I’ve never asked for help like this before, but right now I feel like I have no choice.

I’m not asking for anything beyond what’s needed. I’m not trying to replace everything or upgrade—I just want to repair the motorhome windows, and take steps toward getting back to work and some normality.

If anyone is able to help, even a small amount, it would mean more than I can say. And if you’re not able to donate, sharing this would make a huge difference.

I never thought I’d do this but I want to try my hardest to keep the motorhome (pat) for it’s so special to me and my daughter…she maybe old but I can’t let her go like this.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
