Help Madelyn restart a fish stall in Leeds after a storm that collapsed the roof

Madelyn has run a fish stall for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,950 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a fish stall in Leeds. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 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 $2,950 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,200 • Shop repairs and licensing: $300 • Working capital for the first month: $450 Thank you for reading my story. - Madelyn
