<div>I’m Sam, I am. 2 years ago I quit my job, and my hubby &amp; I put all our savings, including the deposit for a house, into buying a pie business in Derry / Londonderry. Not just any pie business; Pie In The Sky – THE most delicious handmade, artisan scotch pies in Northern Ireland.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The business came with a little black 2011 Peugeot Partner; my trusty steed, or rather work horse that gets me to and from the production unit 4 days a week; then delivering pies around Northern Ireland on a Friday; and then to &amp; from various artisan markets on the weekends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have poured my life &amp; soul into this business, literally. I work 70-90 hour weeks just to pay my bills, the unit rent, rates &amp; utilities as well as my suppliers. I am yet to draw a salary, let alone pay back the deposit for the house.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Everything just keeps getting more &amp; more expensive. I am struggling, not just financially, mentally &amp; physically as I try to keep all the balls in the air.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The hardest thing for me to do is ask for help – I’ve always been ‘managed’ even when I haven’t. Here I am; asking for help and relying on the kindness of strangers and friends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The pie-mobile needs to be replaced – whilst on the delivery run in Belfast I had a little accident which ended up damaging the passenger front drive axle. Insurance has deemed it a write-off.  My excess is about £500 and whatever payout the insurance makes, it’s not going to be enough to get a reliable replacement van.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thankfully no-one was injured, and no other vehicles were involved; but to add insult to injury we had just fitted 4 new tyres and the tank was half full.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The van is not a luxury, it is a necessity 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating £5 or £10, but honestly any and all donations will be a help in getting Pie In The Sky back on the road.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser could help too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading my story, supporting a small business and helping to get delicious pies delivered around Northern Ireland.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love &amp; gratitude
</div>
<div>Sam (the Pie Girl)
</div>
