For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in San Diego. In January, 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 3 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 $4,050 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,250
• Initial stock: the first catch: $930
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
• Working capital for the first month: $620
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong, Emilio. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours
Thanks for sharing this, Emilio. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Hang in there, Emilio. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Shinjuku but we're thinking of you. All the best.

Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of San Diego
