A DAD-of-two has been has been overwhelmed by the kindness of a Warrington business and the generosity of his two daughters.

Laurence Barrow, 38, from Great Sankey, was humbled when Henry Seddon from Henry's Laptops Warrington donated a laptop to his dad in hospital, shortly before his nine and six-year-old daughters selflessly donated toys to charity.

His dad David, 69, is ill in Warrington Hospital and wanted a laptop so he could play Football Manager.

Laurence explained: "I put a message out online and the first person to respond was Henry.

"Henry Seddon will do anything for anyone, he's brilliant, but no-one has ever really sung his praises.

"He reconditioned a laptop and went to my mum and dad's house and installed the game.

"Then he went and spent two hours with my dad in the hospital to make sure he knew how to use it.

"My dad said what a difference it's made and he couldn't believe someone would come in and do that for him.

"When I saw LinkedIn and Facebook, hundreds of people were saying what an amazing gesture it was.

"I just thought that sometimes people need to be recognised."

The acts of kindness did not stop there as David's grandchildren joined in the charitable spirit.

Ruby and Poppy donated their un-used toys to the HoneyRose Foundation.

The Saint Helens-based charity grants wishes to those over 40 with life-threatening illnesses.

Laurence heard about a terminally ill man the charity was supporting who had to tell his children about his sad situation.

He said: "I explained to my girls that I wanted them to make their own decision, but said they are very fortunate and have lots of toys.

"I said, wouldn't it be nice if someone their age could get some use out of the toys in an upsetting situation?"

Ruby and Poppy both decided to donate the toys they no longer played with to the charity.

Their soft toys have the facility for the terminally ill father to record a message for his daughters that they can replay and cherish for years to come.

Laurence said: "I took them to HoneyRose thinking nothing of it but the founder of it came out to me with a frame and told the girls where their toys will be going.

"What these people do to make people's last wishes come true is unbelievable."
