Help Abigail restart a fish stall in Seattle after a break-in
A fish stall in Seattle needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a break-in.
🇺🇸 Seattle, Washington, United States3,255 views
For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Seattle. 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,550
• Initial stock: the first catch: $420
• Shop repairs and licensing: $490
• Working capital for the first month: $340
