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. - Eleanor
