Back to business - William's comeback in Orlando
William has run a fish stall for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,300 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Orlando. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,900
• Initial stock: the first catch: $400
• Shop repairs and licensing: $260
• Working capital for the first month: $740
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from William
Wanted to say thank you properly. 36% funded and the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled.

Best of luck, William. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 22 people at work.
Stay strong. Hope you make a strong comeback. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from San Nicolás de los Garza
