For six years I have run a fish stall in Hubballi. In October, the demolition of the market 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $370
• Initial stock: the first catch: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Sunita. This could happen to any of us. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
