Ankit needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Ankit has run a fish stall for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $800 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a fish stall in Nashik. In March, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $470
• Initial stock: the first catch: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Thank you for reading my story.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ankit!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing a freezer and scales comes first ($470) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the shop reopens soon. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
