I've raised £10000 to help Al find his feet again. We all know Al would give anyone all he has, from his last penny, to the final minute of his most wearying day.

Hi everyone, Matt and I have started this page to help our friend Alan out. Al Hodge had his van and all his specialist tools and equipment stolen this week and his insurance wont cover these specialist items that were in his van. Alan is self employed, has a young family to feed and without his tools and equipment he's unable to work.
Alan is the the most selfless person I and probably many of you know, but now he needs our help.
The risk of someone losing their customers, their business and their livelihood is not something he would just watch go by. Nor should we. Please donate as much as you can to get him back on his feet, come on everyone, lets do this.
Everything raised will first off go towards the insurance shortfall to replacing his van and minimum tools and equipment to ensure he doesn't lose customers through inability to even maintain his work. Then anything raised will go towards the equipment to allow him to make installations, we'll get a list of these items and post asap
Alan would never ask for help but would always be the first to offer, so Matt and I are asking. Thank you.
