For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Kansas City. In February, the demolition of the market took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $5,350 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $3,450
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $430
• Shop repairs and licensing: $640
• Working capital for the first month: $830
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Keep going, Nathan. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours.
Keep going, Nathan. Hope you get there. Take care
