Maurício needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall

Maurício has run a fish stall for twelve years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $900 will put it back on its feet.

Maringá

For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Maringá. In August, a break-in 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $900 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $380 • Initial stock: the first catch: $210 • Shop repairs and licensing: $105 • Working capital for the first month: $205 Glad we found this place. - Maurício
