Help Alicja restart a fish stall in Katowice after a break-in
Alicja lost a freezer and scales to a break-in and needs $550 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.

For four years I have run a fish stall in Katowice. In August, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 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 $550 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $320
• Initial stock: the first catch: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you. Hope the shop reopens soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Vigo
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Katowice
this could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
