Replace cash stolen from pensioner
Donation protected
On Monday, December 11, two weeks before Christmas Day, an elderly woman was in her flat in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire when a man knocked on her door claiming he was carrying out an official inspection on the building.
Being the unassuming lady she likely is, the 89-year-old woman who is in a wheelchair let him in where he asked her to make him a cup of tea (any British person would know this is against all etiquette - how rude!). While she was putting the kettle on, the man then stole her purse containing £110 cash.
After she asked him for ID, he told her he was going to get it from his car and never came back.
This is a disgusting act of greed and police have said the woman was intentionally targeted due to her vulnerability.
Please help me raise the money to replace this woman's cash in time for Christmas and show her that there is more generosity and selflessness in the community than greed and callousness. £110 may be a drop in the ocean for some people, but for others it may be the difference between a Merry Christmas and one without food and warmth.
