Komal needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall

Komal has run a fish stall for three years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a fish stall in Bengaluru. In December, floodwater took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, 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 $400 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $145 • Initial stock: the first catch: $95 • Shop repairs and licensing: $105 • Working capital for the first month: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Komal

    So sorry you're going through this, Komal. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Semarang.
