A fish stall in Bengaluru needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇮🇳 India1,207 views
For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Bengaluru. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $130
• Initial stock: the first catch: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $75
Every share and every dollar helps.
