Back to business - Lâm's comeback in Melbourne
Lâm has run a fish stall for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $1,650 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a fish stall in Melbourne. In June, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 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 $1,650 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $270
• Shop repairs and licensing: $690
• Initial stock: the first catch: $690
Thank you for reading my story.
