Back to business - Ramon's comeback in Lapu-Lapu
A small grocery stall in Lapu-Lapu needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after the demolition of the market.
🇵🇭 Cebu, Philippines1,165 views
For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Lapu-Lapu. In October, 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 Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $220
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ramon!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing a cold-storage unit comes first ($220) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Good luck, Ramon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
