For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Wollongong. In July, the demolition of the market took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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 $2,700 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,500
• Initial stock: the first catch: $590
• Shop repairs and licensing: $610

Praying for you, Ahmed. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the shop reopens soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Mérida.
hang in there, Ahmed. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Praying for you, Ahmed. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
