Het needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Het lost a freezer and scales to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $350 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Durgapur. In May, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $350 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $250
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Take care. Small businesses are the heart of Durgapur. Hope you're open again soon. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
