For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Vancouver. In August, 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 3 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 $3,650 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,500
• Initial stock: the first catch: $940
• Shop repairs and licensing: $560
• Working capital for the first month: $650
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Galle.
