For four years I have run a fish stall in Jerusalem. In August, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $2,900 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $560 • Shop repairs and licensing: $370 • Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,970 Thanks for reading all this.

      • Thanks for sharing this, Talia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Jerusalem.

        • So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Mysuru so I could bring a meal. God bless

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

              The list at the bottom is the whole picture. working capital for the first month is the biggest at $560.

          • Praying for you, Talia. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Saint-Denis donated after I showed her your page

            • Good luck. Small businesses are the heart of Jerusalem. Hope you're open again soon. After 22 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Istanbul.

              • thinking of you and your family, Talia. Gave what I could, wish it was more

                • Rooting for you, Talia. Shared this with my family

                  • sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

                    • Sending strength, Talia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
