Rabia has run a fish stall for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $150 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Rawalpindi. 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 Monday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $150 goes:
• Initial stock: the first catch: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $10
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Kumasi so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Good luck. Small businesses are the heart of Rawalpindi. Hope you're open again soon. God bless
Rooting for you, Rabia. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
Good luck, Rabia. This could happen to any of us. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
