Fábio needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
A fish stall in Ribeirão Preto needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Ribeirão Preto. In August, 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 Wednesday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $220
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $690
• Initial stock: the first catch: $190
With deep gratitude,
Fábio

Hope it all works out, Fábio. Small businesses are the heart of Ribeirão Preto. Hope you're open again soon. Take care.
Good luck, Fábio. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thanks for sharing this, Fábio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
