Start-up fund for Yağmur: reopening a fish stall after a break-in
A fish stall in Kadıköy needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a break-in.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye410 views
For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Kadıköy. In May, a break-in 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $290
• Initial stock: the first catch: $185
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $115
With deep gratitude,
Yağmur

hang in there, Yağmur. Shared this with my family. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

Hope the shop reopens soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Rooting for you, Yağmur. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up.
