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.
