Father's shop temporarily closed in the new Corona My son's online donation May 18 4:37
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, a junior high school student in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, started an initiative to collect donations via the Internet in order to help his father, whose store is temporarily closed.
This activity was started by Yunosuke Akita (12), a first-year middle school student in Kurashiki City.
The Gyoza store in Okayama City, which is run by his father Tomoki, has been temporarily closed from the 12th of last month due to the spread of the infection, and is paying fixed expenses of 700,000 yen per month, such as rent, by cutting savings.
To help her father, Akita started crowdfunding on the 14th of this month to collect donations on the Internet with the goal of 1.5 million yen.
For those who donated, we are going to give frozen gyoza as a gift in return, which was supposed to be baked at the store, and in the afternoon of the 17th, more than two-thirds of the target of 1.1 million yen was exceeded. It is sent.
Mr. Akita said, "Because I enrolled in a private junior high school, which was expensive, I wanted to help a little, so I started."
Mr. Tomoki, his father, said, “I'm very happy with my son. I plan to restart the business this week, so I want to use the donation I received to deliver delicious gyoza to everyone again.”
