Start-up fund for Megan: reopening a fish stall after the demolition of the market
A fish stall in San Diego needs help replacing a freezer and scales after the demolition of the market.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States1,922 views
For four years I have run a fish stall in San Diego. In July, the demolition of the market 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 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 $4,450 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,500
• Initial stock: the first catch: $830
• Shop repairs and licensing: $450
• Working capital for the first month: $670
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you, Megan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Megan?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a freezer and scales, advice is welcome too.
hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Shinjuku but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up
