Abdul needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in Gazipur needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after the demolition of the market.
Anywhere in the world914 views
For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Gazipur. In August, the demolition of the market took a cold-storage unit. 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 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 $300 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $115
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $60
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
