Radhika needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
A fish stall in Mumbai needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a long illness and repossession.
🇮🇳 India536 views
For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Mumbai. In July, a long illness and repossession took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $450 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $95
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $270
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
