Back to business - Ramón's comeback in Buenos Aires
A fish stall in Buenos Aires needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a long illness and repossession.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina1,675 views
For three years I have run a fish stall in Buenos Aires. In July, 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 5 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $460
• Initial stock: the first catch: $170
• Shop repairs and licensing: $170
Every share and every dollar helps.
