James Anderson is a 52-year-old plumber who works to make quality plumbing and boiler services available to underprivileged people at low or no cost.
He was deeply moved by the many cases of neglect and the way people treated the elderly. He was concerned about how badly the engineer was treating the older man.
He was not satisfied with the outcome of the situation, so he decided to take active steps to help those who desperately need his expertise, but cannot afford to pay for it. James closed his private practice in 2017 and founded Depher.
Depher is a not-for-profit corporation whose primary purpose is to provide low-cost or free pipe and boiler installation, maintenance, and repair services to people who would normally not be able to afford them. He strongly believes that elderly and disabled people shouldn’t freeze to death in their homes because they can’t afford to fix their boilers. He said it shouldn’t be in this day and age.

Since his founding in 2017, Depher has helped thousands of low-income, elderly, and disabled people solve their plumbing problems. James wants to impact more people and has begun taking steps to encourage more professionals to join this great movement.
One of his many acts of kindness caught the world’s attention. It happened when the Internet’s funds dried up. The bill listed all the services she had provided and would provide to an elderly woman diagnosed with acute leukemia who might receive end-of-life care.
In the description box he showed the work he had done on the boiler and some leaks he had fixed. He also added that he would attend to the 91-year-old woman’s plumbing needs 24 hours a day, saying that under no circumstances should an elderly woman be charged for the service and that he took it upon himself. To provide him with maximum comfort. As much as possible.
This alone garnered many likes and attention from many people around the world on social media. This is truly commendable and deserves all the encouragement it can get.
The world really needs people like James who go above and beyond to put the needs of others before their own. It may come as a surprise that this kind act of kindness resulted in James incurring a large amount of debt.
The company currently has debts of more than £8,000. Although they are currently in debt, they are still able to provide these services at little or no cost to those who need them.
He said he would rather borrow money than let poor people sit and die in cold homes. Honestly, this is not only a fascinating story, but also a very admirable story and a great example to follow.
