For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Heliopolis. In February, a break-in took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $190
• Initial stock: the first catch: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $110
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Amir?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a freezer and scales, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Sending love, Amir. Small businesses are the heart of Heliopolis. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Alexandria.
Sending good thoughts. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't give up. God bless
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Amir!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing a freezer and scales comes first ($190) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 22 people at work.
Hope things get better soon, Amir. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Heliopolis.

Wishing you the best, Amir. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Chennai.
Sending love, Amir. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
