Help Alice restart a fish stall in Poitiers after the demolition of the market
A fish stall in Poitiers needs help replacing a freezer and scales after the demolition of the market.
🇫🇷 Poitiers, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France1,587 views
For four years I have run a fish stall in Poitiers. In August, the demolition of the market 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 3 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 $3,350 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,100
• Initial stock: the first catch: $450
• Shop repairs and licensing: $320
• Working capital for the first month: $480
Thanks for reading all this.
