For six years I have run a fish stall in Cali. In August, a break-in 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 10 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $410
• Initial stock: the first catch: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $115

Hope things get better soon, Inés. Your post was clear and honest
Thinking of you and your family, Inés. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mexicali.
small businesses are the heart of Cali. Hope you're open again soon.
