A PASTOR is appealing for a wheelchair for a parishioner's father who lives in Romania.

Pastor Peter Jeynes of the Seventh Day Adventists Church, Blackburn, has made the plea on behalf of church member Anca French.

Her father, Florest Aurelian lives in Bucharest and suffers from diabetes and a heart condition.

He needs a wheelchair to get around and Pastor Jeynes is asking for anyone with an un-used folding wheelchair to get in touch so they can send it to Mr Aurelian.

Pastor Jeynes can be contacted at 14, Fitchfield, Penwortham, Preston, PR1 9UE or telephone 01772 746418.
