Sheffield
For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Sheffield. In June, a break-in took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $3,400 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,250 • Initial stock: the first catch: $320 • Shop repairs and licensing: $170 • Working capital for the first month: $660 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
