Help Chirag restart a fish stall in Kanpur after a break-in
Chirag has run a fish stall for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇳 Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India983 views
For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Kanpur. In July, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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:
• Initial stock: the first catch: $125
• Working capital for the first month: $80
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $195
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
