Eva needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Eva lost a freezer and scales to a long illness and repossession and needs $2,900 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.
🇺🇸 Hialeah, Florida, United States1,514 views
For nine years I have run a fish stall in Hialeah. In March, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $2,900 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,500
• Initial stock: the first catch: $350
• Shop repairs and licensing: $580
• Working capital for the first month: $470
Thanks for reading all this.

Good luck, Eva. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Eva?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a freezer and scales, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
hope things get better soon, Eva. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eva
Replacing a freezer and scales is $1,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
you're not alone, Eva. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
sending love. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. All the best.
keep going, Eva. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 25 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Rooting for you, Eva. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Stay strong. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Blessings!
You're not alone, Eva. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 38 people at work. Greetings from Dammam
Good luck, Eva. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from São Paulo.
So sorry you're going through this, Eva. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Sending good thoughts, Eva. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Üsküdar donated after I showed her your page.
