Start-up fund for Deepak: reopening a fish stall after a storm that collapsed the roof
A fish stall in Kathmandu needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For four years I have run a fish stall in Kathmandu. In June, 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 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 $150 goes:
• Initial stock: the first catch: $45
• Shop repairs and licensing: $25
• Working capital for the first month: $80
I hope life is good to you.

you're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Oakland.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Wishing you peace, Deepak. Hope the shop reopens soon
Hope you get there. Don't give up. Blessings
