For three years I have run a fish stall in Barcelona. In August, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $2,550 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,650 • Initial stock: the first catch: $330 • Shop repairs and licensing: $320 • Working capital for the first month: $250 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Antonio

  • can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Barcelona!

      Thank you. If you're in Barcelona I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

  • Praying for you. Small businesses are the heart of Barcelona. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

    • You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Oakland.

      • Good luck, Antonio. Hope this works out for you.
