Start-up fund for Sara: reopening a fish stall after floodwater
A fish stall in Latina needs help replacing a freezer and scales after floodwater.

For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Latina. In July, floodwater took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,200
• Initial stock: the first catch: $630
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
• Working capital for the first month: $270
Every share and every dollar helps.
