A Go Fund Me page has been set up to support a Bucks business owner after a crash.

Natasha May, who owns Eco Bonobo in Aylesbury, was taken to hospital with multiple injuries and she has since developed pneumonia.

However, it isn't just the physical damage that Ms May has been dealing with, the crash has taken a huge toll on her mental health.

Speaking to Greatest Hits, she said:

"I have been more concerned with the mental damage than the physical side of things because bruises can heal.

"I've been dropping the kids off and getting home and having a good cry because I am pre-empting that something bad is going to happen, it's horrible."

Since the accident, a Go Fund Me page has been set up by one of Ms May's customer's in a bid to help her employ someone to help out and replace the company van.

So far more than £2,000 of the £2,500 target has been raised.

Miss May said:

"The accident has hugely impacted the future of my business.

"I don't know if it will get through Christmas.

"This time of year events ramp up, Christmas markets are on and things like that but since being in the hospital, the shop hasn't been able to open up.

"The money that's coming through is going to help me employ because for the foreseeable I won't be able to do as much and it would allow me to keep things running."

She added:

"I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for what people have done for me.

"I didn't think about setting something up like this for myself and I was dubious about it but I am amazed and so grateful.

"To anyone who has donated, thank you so much, not just from myself, but from my family as well.

"It means the world it really does."
