For six years I have run a fish stall in Madrid. 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 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 $1,000 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $440
• Shop repairs and licensing: $310
• Initial stock: the first catch: $250
I hope life is good to you.

Take care, Rubén. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Arlington
Wishing you the best, Rubén. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Keep going, Rubén. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Fresno.
