Back to business - Brigitte's comeback in Stuttgart

Brigitte has run a small grocery stall for six years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,000 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Stuttgart. In February, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $2,000 goes: • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $780 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $390 • Shop repairs and licensing: $350 • Working capital for the first month: $480 Thank you so much. - Brigitte

  • Hang in there, Brigitte. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

    • keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
