Yes TCM, that would have been Mike I think. Enormous problems with the benefits system, as many problems with getting decent medical treatment where he was, and I think he spoiled his daughter rotten when he could and in the best way he could.

I have some very touching and telling emails that I got from him last year that I re-read when I heard the sorry news. In one of them he said "I just wanted to make a difference".

Oh thank you, i didnt look that far up. To be honest, ive got out of the habit of looking on here on a regular basis. But ive just looked through the posts and found out that yes he is the gentleman that i spoke to probably two years ago, when he was really struggling and was sad he couldnt give his daughter what he felt she deserved, and how the benefits system basically treated him in a shameful manner. I am so sad about this, I have cried when I think about the struggles he had, and he seemed such a nice man who was willing to help anyone.
I will gladly make a donation, and if his family are reading, I am so sad to hear of your loss

Hi John, yes ive just gone to look at my old emails, but i must have deleted them. At the time I felt like I wanted to help him, but i had lost my job after my surgery aswell, not that he would have accepted anything, but I know what its like with my children, I wanted to be able to give them everything and our standard of living changed enormously because I was an Accountant and have been unable to return to my work even after four years.
How dreadfully sad this is, the poor man, he shouldnt of had to struggle, it makes me so angry, I think people think im lazy and dont want to work, do you know I would give anything to go back four years doing the job i loved, enjoying the rewards and the self worth. He was a bright intelligent man who had rotten bad luck with his health, he should have had help, this is all so wrong.
