Raise funds to stay open and house Key NHS Workers for free, who are isolating from families

On the 2nd June 2020 we'd raised £50 with 2 supporters in 56 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
I'm a small business on the sunny Isle of Wight. I run a family business and we live here. We were closed down for the pandemic and I lost a lot of business due to this. We are seasonal and rely on summer trade to get us through.
As a family we have suffered tragedy. My 17 year old boy was beaten up 16 months ago and remains in hospital today with a traumatic brain injury. I have to split my time between visiting him each day on the mainland, parenting 2 young ones and run the business. My other teen helps with the hotel but needs to be a teen.
This pandemic is a concerning time for all and I saw a lot of nurses struggle to work when shielding families so I decided to offer up my hotel to all the staff who needed a safe place to stay and continue working to provide for their families. I do not charge for this and house them free of charge. I provide washing and cooking for them too.
I'm looking for help to keep paying the Bill's so I can keep a roof over our heads and the heads of all the staff here. With £4k outgoings a month, we are set to fall soon. The little help the government have given us will only last so long and limited not eligible for a CBILS. I'm not asking for much, just enough to be able to keep a roof over my head, the families and these e very special nurses. Once we are back open, I will offer free holidays to all donors. I'll pay it forward!
