Back to business - Rajesh's comeback in Warren

Rajesh has run a fish stall for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,200 will put it back on its feet.

Warren
For nine years I have run a fish stall in Warren. In October, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 3 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $2,200 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $430 • Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,400 • Initial stock: the first catch: $370 Thanks for being kind about this.

      You're not alone. Small businesses are the heart of Warren. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

            keep going. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
