Nan lost a freezer and scales to a long illness and repossession and needs $3,150 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Salem. In May, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $830
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,800
• Initial stock: the first catch: $520
Glad we found this place.

thanks for sharing this, Nan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
I hope things turn around soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Rome.
hope you get there. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Juiz de Fora but we're thinking of you. God bless
