Limoges
For three years I have run a fish stall in Limoges. In August, a break-in took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, 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 $3,150 goes: • Initial stock: the first catch: $510 • Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,150 • Shop repairs and licensing: $490 Thanks for being kind about this.

    So sorry you're going through this. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

      Wishing you peace, Henri. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Lviv.

          You're not alone, Henri. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Limoges.
