Back to business - Bijay's comeback in Dharan
A fish stall in Dharan needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a break-in.
🇳🇵 Koshi, Nepal834 views
For six years I have run a fish stall in Dharan. In July, 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 Wednesday, 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $210
• Initial stock: the first catch: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Bijay
Quick update: $137 raised so far (39%). the plan for initial stock: the first catch is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($131 in total) I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $10 so far, I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing.
