What's HOT on the High Street

Dear Captain

MY disabled father's cooker has broken down and now he keeps getting electric shocks from it. I've had someone out to repair it but he said it is not worth fixing. My father can't afford a new one.

Mrs C CLOSE Sunderland

Captain Crunch says: I hope he won't be too shocked when my £150 arrives to help him out.

Dear Captain

MY husband died from cancer and after he passed away I found he had cancelled the insurance on our mortgage.

I can't work as I injured my back and although I've had a discectomy it was unsuccessful and I face life in a wheelchair.

CAROLINE LANGMEAD Leigh Park, Hants

Captain Crunch says: My £300 will help keep the roof over your head.

Dear Captain

I WAS a builder but in January I had a fall and broke both legs and my back.

I haven't been able to work since and I have had to sell my car to pay my mortgage and other bills. My oldest son has a very expensive school trip coming up and I can't afford to let him go.

JON BRIND Hornchurch, Essex

Captain Crunch says: I am backing you with £300.
