For four years I have run a fish stall in Veracruz. In November, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,150 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $640
• Initial stock: the first catch: $250
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
