Much needed funds for business startup

******Update 23/3.

I feel i need to update my reasons for fundraising now. My income was dependent on my honesty box where I sold traybakes, cakes, jams and eggs from my hens and ducks. It was extremely popular and very successful but unfortunately I have had a few minor thefts. Most recently two lads took it upon themselves to rip the money tin from the wall and clear me out of all my stock too. The video from that has gone viral but still no-one is able to identify them and the police are not investigating as there isn't enough to go on, which i understand. Because of the damage and yet another kick in the teeth I decided to close the honesty box, which has finished my current income. I could deal with that and muddle through until I got the trailer on the road. I was going to sell traybakes and my eggs from the burger van instead. That was until last night when I had a fox attack on my hens and ducks and lost a substantial number. Clearing up the bodies of my pets was enough for me, I've rehomed the remaining birds to keep them safe. I just don't have it in me anymore. I'm done. The messages and support on Facebook have been amazing. I am not one for asking for help, but so many people wanted to help so I kept this fund me open. The honesty box was financing the trailer and now that's gone, I've reached a brick wall. I know once I get this on the road I'll be ok, but I need to get it there. Thankyou all for the support. It means the absolute world to me and it's very overwhelming xxx *****

My name is Marie Bell. I'm in the process of converting a horsebox into a burgervan. I am doing all the work myself, or should I say my husband Brian is doing all the work and I'm supervising!

We have reached a point in the build where we are in need of funds to continue.

We need to pay for the final materials to fit out the trailer, to pay a gas engineer to fit and certify gas appliances, pay the council the traders licences fee, public liability insurance, and to stock the trailer for the first time.

I have looked into grants but they require me to pay out the funds first, then they will reimburse me, unfortunately I'm not in a position to pay out those funds first which is why I am asking for help, from anyone who can offer anything at all, as little as £5 (sorry o think thats the minumum donation and i dont know if i can change that). I'm getting desperate and I never ask for help with things usually. My blood sweat and tears has gone into this venture and I don't want to fall at the final hurdle. Please please, anything at all would be amazing.

I have looked into loans but unfortunately this is not an option for me.

I'm aware there are people in much worse situations that me, who are much more deserving. I thank you in advance xx
