A fish stall in Moscow needs help replacing a freezer and scales after the demolition of the market.

Moscow
For six years I have run a fish stall in Moscow. 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $800 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $420 • Initial stock: the first catch: $120 • Shop repairs and licensing: $90 • Working capital for the first month: $170 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Maxim

    Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Accra so I could bring a meal. God bless.
