Kobe

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Kobe. In June, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $3,300 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $410 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $670 • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,220 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
