Back to business - Papa's comeback in Tarkwa
Papa has run a small grocery stall for nine years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Tarkwa. In April, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $550 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $360
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $130
Thank you so much.
