For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Zagazig. In May, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength, Mohammed. Hope you get there. Thinking of Zagazig.
Good luck, Mohammed. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Hyderabad so I could bring a meal.
