Back to business - Ziad's comeback in Utrecht
Ziad lost a freezer and scales to a break-in and needs $1,700 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.
🇳🇱 Netherlands2,731 views
For nine years I have run a fish stall in Utrecht. In February, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 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 $1,700 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $670
• Shop repairs and licensing: $560
• Initial stock: the first catch: $470
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
