Back to business - Teresa's comeback in Liverpool
Teresa has run a small grocery stall for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Liverpool. In August, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $310
• Shop repairs and licensing: $550
• Working capital for the first month: $490
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

good luck. Shared it with a few friends. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Wishing you the best, Teresa. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Liverpool.
So sorry you're going through this, Teresa. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Rawalpindi.
You're not alone, Teresa. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Kyiv.
You're not alone, Teresa. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
