He needs our help.
These are the heartbreaking words of Leeds great-grandad Kevin, who had taken out £15,000 of his hard-earned savings to give to his children to celebrate his recovery from cancer - only for a callous thief to pounce and steal it all.
With his permission, we have set up this fundraiser to help him get some of the money back. Fighting back the tears, Kevin, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer which had spread to his lymph mode, said: "It's been a difficult two-and-a-half years. When you hear the word cancer, you automatically think the worst.
Kevin, who did not want his full name to be used or pictured due to fear of reprisals, said: "We wanted to treat them now, so we can see them celebrate and be happy, instead of them worrying about us. It wasn't only me going through this illness, they did as well. It affected us all." "I tried to get out, but I couldn't. Everything went blank and I just felt sick. I haven been out since, except to the shop once and even then I was looking behind me all the time and looking in my rear view mirror. I don't feel like I can go out."
