Start-up fund for Ronnie: reopening a fish stall after floodwater
A fish stall in Quezon City needs help replacing a freezer and scales after floodwater.
Updates from Ronnie
Update from Quezon City: we've started the first stage. We're at 59% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($216 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 20% funded and I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing.
