Help Élodie restart a fish stall in Strasbourg after the demolition of the market
Élodie has run a fish stall for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $1,850 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Strasbourg. 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $1,850 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $390
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,200
• Initial stock: the first catch: $260
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Élodie. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Élodie?
hang in there, Élodie. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
How is Élodie doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Élodie. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Stay strong, Élodie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
