Back to business - Yolanda's comeback in Móstoles
Yolanda has run a small grocery stall for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $2,150 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Móstoles. In June, a fire in the building 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,150 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,100
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $410
• Shop repairs and licensing: $470
• Working capital for the first month: $170
I hope life is good to you.

Best of luck, Yolanda. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Cologne.
Rooting for you, Yolanda. Hope this works out for you. After 15 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 9 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Hope you make a strong comeback. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 7 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
thanks for sharing this, Yolanda. Hope you make a strong comeback. God bless.
Small businesses are the heart of Móstoles. Hope you're open again soon. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Móstoles.
Thinking of you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
