Back to business - Pilar's comeback in San Nicolás de los Garza
A small grocery stall in San Nicolás de los Garza needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a break-in.
Anywhere in the world1,049 views
For six years I have run a small grocery stall in San Nicolás de los Garza. In September, a break-in 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 2 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 $900 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $400
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $220
• Shop repairs and licensing: $120
• Working capital for the first month: $160
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
