For six years I have run a fish stall in San Diego. In July, a long illness and repossession 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $3,350 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $630 • Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,400 • Initial stock: the first catch: $320 Thank you so much.

Updates from Radha

  1. Quick update: $550 raised so far (16%). I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($445). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing.

    I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mumbai.

      wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Fresno donated after I showed her your page. All the best

        Wishing you the best, Radha. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from São Paulo

          hang in there, Radha. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.

          • Junaid Ahmed Farooqi

            Hope it all works out, Radha. Small businesses are the heart of San Diego. Hope you're open again soon. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
