Nashik
For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Nashik. In January, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $400 goes: โ€ข Initial stock: the first catch: $50 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $60 โ€ข Replacing a freezer and scales: $290 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  2. Update from Nashik: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 29% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
