For twelve years I have run a fish stall in London. In December, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $2,250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $300
• Working capital for the first month: $520
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,430
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Ryan. Small businesses are the heart of London. Hope you're open again soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of London
Sending good thoughts, Ryan. Small businesses are the heart of London. Hope you're open again soon. Take care.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
