Back to business - Teresa's comeback in Monterrey
Teresa has run a fish stall for twelve years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Monterrey. In August, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $550 goes:
• Initial stock: the first catch: $260
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $220
With deep gratitude,
Teresa

Good luck, Teresa. Hope this works out for you. God bless
thinking of you and your family, Teresa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thanks for sharing this, Teresa. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Duisburg.
hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in London this morning.
