Start-up fund for Tammy: reopening a fish stall after a long illness and repossession
A fish stall in Springfield needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a long illness and repossession.

For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Springfield. In May, 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,900
• Initial stock: the first catch: $740
• Shop repairs and licensing: $270
• Working capital for the first month: $740
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
