Start-up fund for Rutuja: reopening a fish stall after a long illness and repossession

For nine years I have run a fish stall in Nagpur. In August, a long illness and repossession took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $600 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $35 • Replacing a freezer and scales: $460 • Working capital for the first month: $105 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
