Qasim needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
Qasim has run a fish stall for nine years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a fish stall in Lahore. In May, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $280
• Initial stock: the first catch: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.
