For four years I have run a fish stall in Stuttgart. In April, 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,100
• Initial stock: the first catch: $540
• Shop repairs and licensing: $430
• Working capital for the first month: $280
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Stuttgart
