For four years I have run a fish stall in San Diego. In November, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $4,050 goes: โ€ข Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,450 โ€ข Initial stock: the first catch: $390 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $490 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $720 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
