Back to business - Jacques's comeback in Mohammedia
Jacques has run a small grocery stall for three years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $850 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Mohammedia. In May, floodwater 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 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $850 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $550
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $160
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $75
I hope life is good to you.
- Jacques

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mohammedia!
Thank you. If you're in Mohammedia I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Thrissur but we're thinking of you.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Love from Surat.
Good luck. Hope you get there. Thinking of Mohammedia
Hope things get better soon, Jacques. This could happen to any of us. After 28 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Mohammedia.
Sending love, Jacques. Hope this works out for you. God bless
Keep going, Jacques. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Dublin donated after I showed her your page
Wishing you the best, Jacques. Hope you get there.
