Priya needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Priya has run a fish stall for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a fish stall in Mumbai. In July, floodwater 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $155
• Initial stock: the first catch: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $60
With deep gratitude,
Priya

Sending good thoughts, Priya. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 17 people at work. Take care.
