Santiago needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Santiago has run a fish stall for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $3,250 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a fish stall in Alcalá de Henares. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, 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 $3,250 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,050
• Initial stock: the first catch: $570
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
• Working capital for the first month: $380
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
