Back to business - Ida's comeback in Uppsala
A fish stall in Uppsala needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a long illness and repossession.
🇸🇪 Sweden5,452 views
For nine years I have run a fish stall in Uppsala. In February, a long illness and repossession took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $4,050 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $370
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,950
• Initial stock: the first catch: $730
If you're reading this, thank you.

Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Take care
Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Uppsala. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ida?
Thank you. If you're in Uppsala I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best!
Sending love, Ida. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Sending love, Ida. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
