His wife Mandy said the SAS Regimental Association had helped towards the first year of his nursing care but can no longer afford to keep up the payments.
FRIENDS of an SAS Iran Embassy siege hero have launched a public appeal to help pay for his crippling care home costs.
Panic was sparked when, on April 30, six gunmen took 26 people, including staff, a police officer and members of the public, hostage inside the embassy building.
Tak’s ex-comrade Major Matt Hellyer started the appeal to help cover the round-the-clock care costs via his independent charity the Pilgrim Bandits — and has already raised more than £20,000.
Fiji-born Tak, 81, was one of 20 troopers who stormed the Iranian embassy in West London in 1980 to end a six-day armed siege.
