Venice

For nine years I have run a fish stall in Venice. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $1,300 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $310 • Shop repairs and licensing: $390 • Initial stock: the first catch: $600 I hope life is good to you. - Elena
