Help fund my business shortfall

I'm reaching out to my friends and family.

As you know, my family and I have been running a grocery store on London Road, West London for the last 15 years. However, things have never been tougher.

Tesco express opened up around the corner and rising rates have made it so much harder for us. However, we have a plan. We have had store designers in and we plan to revamp our offering and we are including a whole load of additional services that Tesco dont offer. We are also going to have a little post office at the back!

This has all cost money and we've fallen short the US$ equivalent of $4,000. This is needed to cover us for rent that is coming out in 35 days. We've searched everywhere but cannot raise this 4k. That's why we're reaching out to friends and family.

Once this month is over, with the new changes we've implement, we will get back on traffic. Profit is expected to increase substantially and we've told all the local people about our new services and 99% seem very interested and glad.

Please help us get through the next month and we'll be forever grateful.
