Help Hassan restart a fish stall in Mardan after floodwater
Hassan has run a fish stall for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a fish stall in Mardan. In May, 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $500 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $240
• Initial stock: the first catch: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $110
With deep gratitude,
Hassan

thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Love from San Francisco.
Praying for you. Small businesses are the heart of Mardan. Hope you're open again soon. Sent it to 15 people at work. All the best
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Mardan.
Hope it all works out, Hassan. Looking forward to the next update.
Thinking of you and your family, Hassan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 21 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
