Winnie needs a freezer and scales to reopen a fish stall
A fish stall in Mukono needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a long illness and repossession.
🇺🇬 Mukono, Central Region, Uganda2,018 views
For six years I have run a fish stall in Mukono. In October, 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 Sunday, 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 $350 goes:
• Initial stock: the first catch: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $180
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Parramatta so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Mukono.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Winnie?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about initial stock: the first catch, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
Take care, Winnie. Hope this works out for you. After 23 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Bogra.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Leeds.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
