Back to business - Madeline's comeback in Cardiff

Madeline has run a fish stall for four years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,400 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a fish stall in Cardiff. In April, a fire in the building 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 6 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 $3,400 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,100 • Initial stock: the first catch: $540 • Shop repairs and licensing: $195 • Working capital for the first month: $565 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Madeline
