Can everyone help update
Hi. This page has been set up to help Dan, a young, disabled, man, to get back to his work helping others.
Just as Dan was getting back on his feet, working to help others, he was the victim of callous thieves.
Dan was doing good for others; he was helping other disabled people. He was paying kindness forward. The selfish act of stealing his tools, and wrecking his van, and stealing all of his tools has stopped his kindness and shattered his confidence. Please help us rebuild, not just his ability to be a handyman again, but his confidence.
A little background:
My work mates, myself and our friends have helped, and supported, Dan for 5 years. In this time, we taught him the skills needed to be a handyman/builder. We have taken him out on jobs, where he worked hard and got stuck in. With our help Dan got into college. Between us we got his confidence up. We gave him some of our tools, as well as buying him new ones. The van that was destroyed in the theft was given to him by me. Dan was doing good; he was going out on jobs to other disabled people and doing work for them at cost. He wasn’t doing this for profit, this was to help him by helping others. This has all been stopped by one cruel, thoughtless act.
Your donation is much appreciated, and will go towards ‘paying it forward’ . Thank You

No worries fella, thought that might be the case 
Get it shared on social media. This site isn't that active anymore.
Lets just say he was a normal tradie, getting your tools robbed has a massive impact. You can't go to work the next day, you can't continue with the job you were doing, that impacts the customer. But then add in the fact this young lad is disabled who is trying to help other disabled people its really shocking. I hope it all gets sorted. Have the police looked into it or not enough resource.

So I've been thinking about this if he is working at cost then doesn't it make it a non profit. Would he need special business insurance? Having said that contents on normal insurance is around £250 that won't cover the tools at all.
They cut the van open like a tin can. In that scenario doesn't matter what locks are on it. For them to go through that much trouble they must have known about what the chap was doing, could it be someone close? or was he being specifically targeted. Doesn't seem like a random opportunist theft.
