Daniele lost a freezer and scales to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $2,100 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.
🇮🇹 Lombardy, Italy2,227 views
For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Brescia. In March, 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 1 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 $2,100 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,450
• Initial stock: the first catch: $420
• Shop repairs and licensing: $230

Hang in there, Daniele. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
take care, Daniele. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Brescia.
wishing you the best, Daniele. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Brescia.
Sending love. Hope you make a strong comeback. I'll check back for the next update
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Best of luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Brescia.
Thinking of you, Daniele. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Take care.
