Back to business - Paulina's comeback in Radom
Paulina has run a fish stall for six years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $1,100 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a fish stall in Radom. In April, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,100 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $490
• Initial stock: the first catch: $210
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $325
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Paulina.
Replacing a freezer and scales is $490 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Stay strong, Paulina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Stay strong, Paulina. Looking forward to the next update.
