BBC Local LiveA family from Thorpe Astley have chosen an unusual way of getting though a difficult time in their life.
When Andy Whitfield was made redundant twice in two years and his son was diagnosed with autism it pushed him into depression.
Then Andy and his family set up a hedgehog sanctuary.
It all started with just two disabled hedgehogs that the Andy and his wife Alison got to help them deal with a slug issue in their garden - now they have a garage full of the spiky animals needing help.
The couple has used social media to raise money so they can keep caring for hedgehogs. However the sanctuary has also had a positive affect on them.
Andy said: "These guys have helped us through quite a lot."
