Back to business - Fernando's comeback in Maringá
Fernando has run a fish stall for three years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $1,250 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a fish stall in Maringá. In September, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $720
• Initial stock: the first catch: $220
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
• Working capital for the first month: $195
Thank you so much.
- Fernando

Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
