Back to business - Julián's comeback in Bogotá
A small grocery stall in Bogotá needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a long illness and repossession.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia1,768 views
For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Bogotá. In June, a long illness and repossession took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $450 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $135
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $210
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
Thanks for reading all this.
