<div>Hi, I’m Andrew and I run a small one-person fudge business selling handmade Cornish fudge at markets and events.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A few weeks ago my life changed very suddenly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just a short time ago I was trading normally and preparing for the busy year of markets and events ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But recently I was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological condition where the immune system attacks the nerves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What started as pain and tingling quickly became severe weakness and within a short period of time I lost the ability to walk and most of the strength in my arms.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am currently still in hospital receiving plasma exchange treatment and the doctors expect that recovery will take time and involve weeks or months of physiotherapy and rehabilitation before I regain normal mobility.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because my business is a one-person operation I haven’t had any income since Christmas Eve and have had to cancel several large events I would normally attend at this time of year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Being self-employed means that when I cannot work, my income stops completely.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser has been set up to help support me while I recover and focus on getting back on my feet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The funds will help with:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• basic living costs while I cannot work
</div>
<div>• recovery and rehabilitation
</div>
<div>• keeping my small business afloat until I am able to return
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To say thank you, I’m planning a special “<strong>comeback fudge” batch</strong> - Once I’m back on my feet and able to make fudge again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A lot of people have said they would love to support the comeback of Buy Fudge and this felt like a fun way to say thank you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>**Thank-you rewards**</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donations of £25 or more will receive a bag of comeback fudge - Once I have recovered and returned to making fudge safely.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donations of £50 or more will receive two bags of fudge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donations of £100 or more will receive four bags of fudge plus a handwritten thank-you note.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fudge rewards will be sent once I am fully recovered and able to safely return to making fudge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to donate, even a small amount would mean a huge amount to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to donate, <strong>sharing</strong> this page would also help me enormously.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every message, donation, or share genuinely means a lot while I focus on getting back on my feet.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Love you all ❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Andrew - Buy Fudge
