Randall needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Randall lost a freezer and scales to floodwater and needs $2,600 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.

For four years I have run a fish stall in Syracuse. In February, floodwater took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $2,600 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,300
• Initial stock: the first catch: $370
• Shop repairs and licensing: $420
• Working capital for the first month: $510
With deep gratitude,
Randall

Good luck, Randall. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope you get there. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
you're not alone, Randall. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up
