Back to business - Hussain's comeback in Lahore
A small grocery stall in Lahore needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a break-in.

For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Lahore. In August, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $105
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $220
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $75
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Sending strength. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Seoul but we're thinking of you.
