For four years I have run a fish stall in Rawalpindi. In August, floodwater took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 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 $300 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $120
• Initial stock: the first catch: $45
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $70
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Rashid
Quick update: $108 raised so far (36%). I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($88 in total) the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Heraklion so I could bring a meal. Blessings
