Start-up fund for Esteban: reopening a fish stall after floodwater
Esteban has run a fish stall for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $1,150 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a fish stall in Monterrey. In May, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $1,150 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $210
• Working capital for the first month: $190
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $750
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this, Esteban. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Campinas
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Uppsala donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Best of luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Monterrey.
