Back to business - Elżbieta's comeback in Poznań

Elżbieta has run a fish stall for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $750 will put it back on its feet.

Poznań
For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Poznań. In March, 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 10 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 $750 goes: • Initial stock: the first catch: $340 • Shop repairs and licensing: $95 • Working capital for the first month: $315 Glad we found this place.
