Iʼve raised £1,050 to Help replace stock that was stolen at Who's Toys
- Mansfield, United Kingdom
- Funded on Thursday, 18th August 2016
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
John Hadlow is a independant retailer and good friend who has a real love for all things sci-fi. He owns and runs a Mansfield based shop which sadly was broken into and emptied of all his stock!
As is the story in most things the police has very little go on and John's insurance requires he pay the first £100. Now this may not sound a lot but when something like this happens, £100 may as well be £1million. He is such a great guy who works hard to support his family.
If we can raise £500 for John that will put them on a good footing for paying the excess and getting back in business.

8 years agoToday is the last day to make donations through this site - as some may have seen on John's Facebook, there was some further annoying news about the insurance company so this fund is even more important now. Share this far and wide!

This is an incredible response, thank you all so much for the support. I was with John last night and considering what has happened, your donations and kind messages have truly lifted him and kept him positive through this testing time!
