Help Eleanor restart a fish stall in Manchester after the demolition of the market
A fish stall in Manchester needs help replacing a freezer and scales after the demolition of the market.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom2,768 views
For three years I have run a fish stall in Manchester. In May, 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $480
• Working capital for the first month: $560
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,060
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
