Henrique needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Henrique has run a fish stall for three years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a fish stall in Caxias do Sul. In August, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $450 goes:
• Initial stock: the first catch: $185
• Working capital for the first month: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out, Henrique. Small businesses are the heart of Caxias do Sul. Hope you're open again soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Best of luck, Henrique. Shared this with my family.
