A fish stall in San Francisco needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a break-in.

San Francisco
For four years I have run a fish stall in San Francisco. In June, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $2,600 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $580 • Initial stock: the first catch: $620 • Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,400 Thank you for reading my story. - Maria
