Start-up fund for Kagiso: reopening a fish stall after a fire in the building

For three years I have run a fish stall in Johannesburg. In March, a fire in the building 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 2 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 $650 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $240 • Initial stock: the first catch: $145 • Shop repairs and licensing: $105 • Working capital for the first month: $160 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Kagiso
