raised of £5,000 target by 47 supporters

    Iʼve raised £950 to Help shop owner Norbert Krupa rebuild his shop which was badly damaged by arsonists in the early hours of 14th October.

    Coventry, United Kingdom
    Funded on Tuesday, 15th November 2016

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    The Miodzio Polish shop in Remembrance Road, Willenhall, Coventry, which opened a year ago was destroyed by a fire in the early hours of Friday 14th October. Police are treating the fire as arson. Nobody knows yet why this particular shop was targeted, but it seems likely the crime was racially motivated.
    I've never met Norbert Krupa, the owner, I've never even been to Coventry, I just wanted to do something as a small gesture to show that some British people are ready to stand with him against this mindless thuggery.
    He is insured and is determined to rebuild but that will take months and in the meantime he will have no income to pay his staff. I run a small business myself and I don't know how I would find the strength to deal with something like this.

    All money raised will go direct to Norbert.

    If you can donate a little, that would be great, but if not, no problem. Why not leave a message of support on the shop's Facebook page.

      Well, the BBC interview didn't happen, something more interesting must have happened in Coventry. Never mind, onwards and upwards. I'm trying to persuade the Telegraph to run something about the campaign.

      If this has been a hate crime I am so sorry for the behaviour of some people in the UK. Good luck with rebuilding your business, and know that there are many UK nationals who wish you well.
