Help Cris restart a fish stall in Bacoor after the demolition of the market
Cris lost a freezer and scales to the demolition of the market and needs $300 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.
🇵🇭 Bacoor, Cavite, Philippines441 views
For four years I have run a fish stall in Bacoor. In May, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $150
• Initial stock: the first catch: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Cris
Thank you all. We're at 97% now ($292). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Bacoor: the plan for initial stock: the first catch is now scheduled. We're at 54% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Cris
