Start-up fund for Zofia: reopening a fish stall after a long illness and repossession
A fish stall in Katowice needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a long illness and repossession.
🇵🇱 Katowice, Silesia, Poland1,865 views
For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Katowice. 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 Monday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Initial stock: the first catch: $195
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $1,420
Thank you for reading my story.

you're not alone, Zofia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless!
Rooting for you, Zofia. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 24 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Sending good thoughts, Zofia. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from San Diego.
You're not alone, Zofia. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Fort Portal but we're thinking of you. All the best.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Silesia. I'll ask around and let you know!
