Back to business - Thiago's comeback in Brasília
Thiago has run a small grocery stall for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,100 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Brasília. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,100 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $155
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $740
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $205
Every share and every dollar helps.
