Nuria needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Nuria lost a freezer and scales to a long illness and repossession and needs $1,100 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Xalapa. In November, 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 Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $1,100 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $490
• Initial stock: the first catch: $270
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $240
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hang in there. Looking forward to the next update!
hang in there, Nuria. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Detroit.
So sorry you're going through this, Nuria. Hope you make a strong comeback. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Sending love. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Warri.
stay strong. Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Xalapa.
Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Da Nang this morning.
Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from St. Petersburg.
