Help Charmaine restart a fish stall in Bacolod after the demolition of the market
Charmaine has run a fish stall for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $850 will put it back on its feet.
🇵🇭 Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Philippines860 views
For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Bacolod. In September, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $850 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $500
• Initial stock: the first catch: $145
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $110
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
