Start-up fund for Ines: reopening a fish stall after floodwater
Ines has run a fish stall for three years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a fish stall in Mansoura. In August, floodwater took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $550 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Initial stock: the first catch: $70
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $445
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Ines
Small update. $306 so far, I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Quick update: $286 raised so far (52%). I made the first payment toward initial stock: the first catch. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($55). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
