Start-up fund for Aarón: reopening a fish stall after a fire in the building
Aarón has run a fish stall for four years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.
🇦🇷 La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina606 views
For four years I have run a fish stall in La Plata. In August, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 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 $500 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $370
• Working capital for the first month: $80
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
