Restore Jacks Faith in People
Jack Walker is a wonderful person
He was a soldier who served for 12 years with the oldest British Army regiment, the Coldstream Guards.
He has always maintained his dignity and respect and is an active Coldstream Guards Association member, he was until very recently one of our Leeds Branch standard bearers - often seen in the newspapers looking smart and always standing proud.
Sadly Jack has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and his days are almost over, he has also a chest problem from his pre war years down the mines.
He sadly was the victim of a theft from his home, his entire savings of just unedr £3800 was stolen leaving him bereft and fearful of the legacy he would now leave his daughters namley his funeral costs, he is also devastated at the fact that he was robbed from within his own home.. he has no money, he lives on a state pension, not only has he had the devasting news about cancer to cope with but now this..
Help me help Jack, please help.. his days are numbered - I want to simply show this wonderful gentleman that we care..
Nothing more.. you are welcome to visit Jack Walker on facebook, get my address and simply post him a card.. make sure it's light and humerous he still has his old soldier humour.. sadly it's hiding behind his anguish, let's restore it, let's show him that whilst there is bad in this world, you are part of the good..
I hope that we can help him get as much money back as possible.. or at the very least.. a few birthday cards as it was his 83rd birthday too.. not much of birthday he had.. we will transform it.. we will make him smile again.. before his time runs out.
Whatever it is you decide to do, I thank you. I have known Jack for many years and he is a light hearted soul that doesn't deserve what has happened, my aim is to simply restore his faith in people. He is in a bad place right now.. but I am determined to change that..
I hope that you are too.
