Help Wayne restart a fish stall in Johannesburg after the demolition of the market
Wayne has run a fish stall for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $1,050 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a fish stall in Johannesburg. In August, 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 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 $1,050 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $720
• Working capital for the first month: $180
• Shop repairs and licensing: $150
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
