Looking for some help in Derby

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if I might brain storm some ideas here for helping an elderly chap called Albert Brindley I used to know when I was growing up in Derby.

 

He used to run a little pet shop in Littleover which I went to for about 10 years from the age of 8 onwards. I used to buy all my things there for my pond and fish tank and in turn he used to buy Loach I caught in the river for a few pennies that I just spent in his shop again!

 

He is a lovely and kind gentleman and I just found out that he was at the receiving end of a huge and elaborate 3 year scam by a truly evil conman. He has lost everything - his savings, his house and even his furniture:

 

Albert Brindley was swindled out of his home, his business and his life savings, totalling nearly 400,000, by conman Sean O'Farrell. | This is Derbyshire

 

I am planning to speak to a few furniture making friends/customers to see if I can exchange timber for some simple but well made furniture.

 

If anyone else can think of anything that can be done, ideas would be hugely appreciated.

 

How someone can meticulously and clinically worm their way into someones life for three years, and then systematically destroy it is beyond me. It's almost one of the most cruel acts I've ever heard of, particularly knowing what a nice chap he is.

 

Any help appreciated :thumbup1:
