0:08:58 > 0:09:02- But it's becoming harder and harder - to offer bargains...
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- ..since the number of donations...
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- ..has decreased.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- People aren't buying new items...
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- ..which means - they've nothing to donate.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52- ..and he'd been taken to Morriston.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11- The prognosis was poor.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17- They told us the next 24 hours - were going to be crucial.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- The worst thing...
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- ..was when they said - they weren't sure he'd pull through.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59- Carpentry was his field - and he was a good carpenter.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- He's still a good carpenter.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Yes, indeed. - He's better than his father!

0:21:50 > 0:21:52- I felt so helpless seeing him there.
0:21:52 > 0:21:58- They were giving him gas and air and - injecting morphine into his veins.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- It gave me the fright of my life.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49- He's starting - to order people about the place!
0:22:49 > 0:22:54- The family didn't think - they'd ever need the air ambulance.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- They are indebted to those - who treated their son.

0:23:01 > 0:23:06- The eight-minute helicopter journey - from here to the hospital...
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- ..took far less time - than taking him by ambulance.
