The global COVID-19 pandemic has created a very uncertain time for us all, small business looking for a little help to survive

On the 26th April 2020 we'd raised £145 with 7 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
I stared my business up about 10 years ago building it up from nothing at all to a fair success.
I’m basically a 1 handed man business I do near everything myself I’ve put everything into it over the years And it’s very much become my life. I have worked very hard to get it where it is today many highs and lows near to giving up but I’ve always got though but never have a faced a more worrying time than now.
I am only a very small business & like most of us I work hard for everything I have.
As I rent a small space Inside a postoffice I won’t be eligible for any grants or schemes as I only sub let a space, I can’t claim universal credit for other reasons so basically until they release the self employed grants in June I don’t know how I’ll survive, even then with that as the business has took a bashing the past month it will still be a struggle as this does not take into account the outgoings of the business . As it’s a business that relies on celebrated occasions and party’s these have all been banned so it’s ran up losses and it still has expenses and currently isn’t being any income in.
Any money raised will simply go toward maintaining my business so it does not fall too far behind to a point I can’t save it, it will be used to keep it afloat until this uncertain time is over and it can once again trade as normal.
I have put so much into it over the years it would be devastating to lose it, it’s a huge part of me and my life but at this moment in time I can’t see any hope.
Anyone who is kind enough to donate £20 in return am offering you £25 back to spend in the future when business resumes , £5 extra to say Thankyou for your support
If many people donated just £1 that could possibly help a business like mine run for another 10 years and to me that would be £1 well spent with a heart full meaning and purpose.
Best wishes to all out there facing these awful fans challenging times together hopefully we can all make it
