Back to business - Isamu's comeback in Tokyo
A small grocery stall in Tokyo needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a break-in.
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan1,524 views
For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Tokyo. In June, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $540
• Working capital for the first month: $210
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Cairo so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Isamu. Hope the shop reopens soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Keep going, Isamu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Tokyo.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Tokyo.
Take care, Isamu. Hope the shop reopens soon.
