Gdańsk

For nine years I have run a fish stall in Gdańsk. In March, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $1,400 goes: • Initial stock: the first catch: $360 • Working capital for the first month: $195 • Replacing a freezer and scales: $845 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
