Almost at the stretch target, feeling quite emotional at everyone's kindness and know that this will mean a lot to his family and especially I think his children, to know their dad meant a lot to his customers as well as them.

Thank you everyone 

David at Mr Simms sweet shop has also been collecting donations so between you you will have raised a really good amount to do something to pay tribute to Akif. 👍🏼

Just 2 more days until the fundraiser closes. Thanks everyone for your ongoing support

Ah wonderful, I'll pop in and see him

£1,430 now raised. Only £70 to go to the aim amount. Wonderful. So emotional and moving everyone has come together...

One more day and then the fundraiser will close.

Just £70 needed to get to £1,500.

Thank you all for your generosity and support. Private messages have been lovely.

This is heartwarming... what a nice community coming together.

Target of £1,500 now reached thank you all who wrote messages of support and/or contributed.

I believe the manager at Mr Simms is also collecting separately so I will try and speak to him tomorrow, if appropriate we will merge our collections. Will post again afterwards. 

Best wishes and heartfelt thanks
