Back to business - John Paul's comeback in Cebu City
John Paul lost a freezer and scales to a long illness and repossession and needs $450 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.
🇵🇭 Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines501 views
For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Cebu City. In August, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $450 goes:
• Initial stock: the first catch: $135
• Working capital for the first month: $45
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $270
Glad we found this place.
