Taiga needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Taiga lost a freezer and scales to the demolition of the market and needs $2,900 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.

For six years I have run a fish stall in Shinjuku. In May, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $2,900 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $300
• Working capital for the first month: $450
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,150
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong, Taiga. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Dallas.
take care, Taiga. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing you peace, Taiga. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending strength, Taiga. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.
So sorry you're going through this, Taiga. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
