Help Ryan restart a fish stall in Belfast after a storm that collapsed the roof

Ryan has run a fish stall for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $3,000 will put it back on its feet.

Belfast
For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Belfast. 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 Friday, and I employed 3 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $3,000 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,100 • Working capital for the first month: $460 • Initial stock: the first catch: $440 Thank you so much. - Ryan

        Best of luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
