For three years I have run a fish stall in Orlando. In January, floodwater took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 weeks. This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment. Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $1,800 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $710 • Initial stock: the first catch: $350 • Shop repairs and licensing: $740 If you're reading this, thank you.
