Back to business - Scarlett's comeback in Auckland
A fish stall in Auckland needs help replacing a freezer and scales after floodwater.
🇳🇿 1059, Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand2,025 views
For three years I have run a fish stall in Auckland. In March, floodwater took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,050
• Shop repairs and licensing: $500
• Initial stock: the first catch: $500
Thanks for reading all this.

keep going. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Scarlett?
Thank you. If you're in Auckland I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
