Lapu-Lapu
For three years I have run a fish stall in Lapu-Lapu. In June, 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 2 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $450 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $310 • Initial stock: the first catch: $55 • Shop repairs and licensing: $85 With deep gratitude, Remedios

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Remedios

    • Remedios W. De LeonOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is replacing a freezer and scales, $310. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
