Enrico needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall

A fish stall in Padua needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a break-in.

Padua
For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Padua. 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 Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,900 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,150 • Initial stock: the first catch: $220 • Shop repairs and licensing: $300 • Working capital for the first month: $230 Thanks for being kind about this. - Enrico

      Good luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
