Start-up fund for Débora: reopening a fish stall after floodwater
Débora has run a fish stall for nine years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $900 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a fish stall in Feira de Santana. In September, floodwater 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $900 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $410
• Initial stock: the first catch: $230
• Shop repairs and licensing: $145
• Working capital for the first month: $115
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
