Help us to help our family!

Hi folks, like many a small business in Scotland, our landscape gardening business went under last year after ten years of hard work, blood, sweat and tears. Due to a combination of lack of finance to buy a new van when our van was deemed unroadworthy and failed it`s MOT whilst we were still repaying the finance on it and my partners recurring back injury (slipped disk) things just fell apart. Since then I have watched a proud,hard working man fall apart with major depression and low self esteem as we ended up being just another poverty statistic living with "heat or eat" scenarios and ending up relying on foodbanks to survive and it`s been utterly soul destroying. If we were able to get finance any other way we would have but all avenues have led to shut doors so this really is our last hope. The money would enable us to buy a CNC machine and computer/software to properly grow our family business making signs/plaques/memorials/artwork which we have been doing by hand for a few months now. We want to be able to work ourselves out of the poverty trap and be able to give our two boys a better future. It`s a big ask but It will make such an immense difference to the future of our family. Anything you can donate to help us on our way to a brighter future will be very much appreciated. Thank-you for taking the time to read our story x
