Back to business - Tariq's comeback in Multan
Tariq lost a freezer and scales to a fire in the building and needs $300 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.

For six years I have run a fish stall in Multan. In March, a fire in the building took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $300 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $140
• Initial stock: the first catch: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $60
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this, Tariq. Hope the shop reopens soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from San Jose.
Sending strength, Tariq. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Multan.
