Back to business - Hailey's comeback in Orlando

Hailey has run a fish stall for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.

Orlando
For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Orlando. In November, a storm that collapsed the roof took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $1,350 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $410 • Initial stock: the first catch: $620 • Working capital for the first month: $320 With deep gratitude, Hailey
