Bang Khen

For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Bang Khen. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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 $800 goes: • Initial stock: the first catch: $145 • Shop repairs and licensing: $75 • Replacing a freezer and scales: $580 Thanks for being kind about this.
