Cologne
For nine years I have run a fish stall in Cologne. In April, floodwater 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 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 $2,150 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,050 • Initial stock: the first catch: $260 • Shop repairs and licensing: $340 • Working capital for the first month: $500 I hope life is good to you.
