Mateo needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Mateo has run a fish stall for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,950 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a fish stall in Belfast. In March, a fire in the building took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $3,950 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,450
• Initial stock: the first catch: $380
• Shop repairs and licensing: $460
• Working capital for the first month: $660
Thanks for reading all this.
