For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Bangkok. 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $850 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $430 • Initial stock: the first catch: $140 • Shop repairs and licensing: $145 • Working capital for the first month: $135 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Good luck, Oranuch. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Half-Way Tree.
