Back to business - Héctor's comeback in San Sebastián
Héctor lost a cold-storage unit to a break-in and needs $2,950 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For four years I have run a small grocery stall in San Sebastián. In September, a break-in took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,650
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $570
• Shop repairs and licensing: $290
• Working capital for the first month: $440
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Tucson
Hope it all works out, Héctor. Small businesses are the heart of San Sebastián. Hope you're open again soon. Please keep us posted
praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Thane so I could bring a meal. Take care!
Small businesses are the heart of San Sebastián. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in Manchester this morning. Thinking of San Sebastián.
Thanks for sharing this, Héctor. Hope you make a strong comeback. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
