Back to business - Hussein's comeback in Dammam

Hussein has run a small grocery stall for three years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $1,950 will put it back on its feet.

Dammam
For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Dammam. In January, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $1,950 goes: • Initial stock: fresh produce: $360 • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,400 • Working capital for the first month: $190 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Hussein

      Hope it all works out, Hussein. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.

        I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
