For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Lahore. In June, a fire in the building 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $300 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $100 • Initial stock: the first catch: $90 • Replacing a freezer and scales: $110 Thanks for reading all this. - Noreen

  • Hang in there, Noreen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Coimbatore

    • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Noreen?

      • Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Yekaterinburg donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

        • Hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 5 people at work. All the best.

          • Hope things get better soon, Noreen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
