WELLWISHERS have pledged almost £1,600 to a Barnsley couple who launched an appeal to fund IVF treatment so they can have a baby.
The Chronicle featured the appeal by Laura and Chris Pye last week and donations – some of them anonymous – have flooded into their 'Making Baby Pye' page on the internet.
And as well as the online donations, Lakis Fish Bar has agreed to open next Sunday and give all the day's profits to the couple, of Barnsley Road, Cudworth.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
