A follow-up on the Danny Shields appeal.
Just over a month ago, we carried a story on the fact that we were backing an appeal to raise funds for a demolition man, Danny Shields. The campaign was started by the team at Armac Group, the company that employed Danny, and has received a considerable amount of backing from the demolition sector as a whole.
Yesterday, we received a lovely letter from Danny’s mother and father, thanking DemolitionNews and its readers for their support and to update the situation with Danny’s treatment. We have reproduced the letter below:
On the 21st of February you featured an article in your weekly news regarding our son Danny Shields, who had been involved in nasty car accident whislt working for Armac Group. The article was forwarded to you via Armac. The story explained that Danny had suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury, and you also posted the heartfelt letter I wrote explaining the story so far.
Thank you very much for the printing the article Armac gave me the link to read your paper and I was completely overwhelmed, so once again thank you very much.
I was hoping that perhaps via the paper I could express our sincere thanks to all who donated.
Danny has since had his Craniplasty operation he was waiting for, and thankfully on the 5th April 2011 he will be starting Momentum Rehab in Birmingham. This has only been made possible because of thoughtful contributions from kind caring people.
May both my husband and I say a sincere thank you to all the companies and private individuals who kindly donated towards this cause, we would especially like to thank Mr Adrian McLean Mark Dudley and Noel McLean and all the employees at Armac Group for donating their wages weekly.
Please accept our heartfelt thanks for all the support we have received at such a difficult time in our lives.
Kind Regards
Derek & Georgia Shields
