Delilah needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Delilah has run a fish stall for twelve years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,850 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Dundee. In August, a fire in the building 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 3 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 $3,850 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,300
• Initial stock: the first catch: $620
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
• Working capital for the first month: $690
Every share and every dollar helps.

Praying for you, Delilah. This could happen to any of us. All the best
stay strong. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Chennai.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from San Diego.
