Back to business - Rowan's comeback in Denver
A fish stall in Denver needs help replacing a freezer and scales after the demolition of the market.
🇺🇸 United States3,444 views
For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Denver. In July, the demolition of the market 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 1 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 $3,300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $750
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,950
• Initial stock: the first catch: $600
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace, Rowan. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Munich donated after I showed her your page.
Best of luck, Rowan. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
keep going, Rowan. Hope this works out for you. After 24 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Manila.
rooting for you, Rowan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
