Lin needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall

Lin has run a fish stall for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,850 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a fish stall in Riverside. In August, the demolition of the market took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $2,850 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,200 • Initial stock: the first catch: $560 • Shop repairs and licensing: $690 • Working capital for the first month: $400 Every share and every dollar helps. - Lin
