Help Mavis restart a fish stall in Cape Coast after a long illness and repossession
Mavis has run a fish stall for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Cape Coast. In April, a long illness and repossession 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 7 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $240
• Initial stock: the first catch: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

How is Mavis doing now?
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Manchester
Shared it with a few friends. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Cape Coast.
