Bennett needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in Liverpool needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a long illness and repossession.

For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Liverpool. In November, a long illness and repossession 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 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 $4,000 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,500
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $360
• Shop repairs and licensing: $550
• Working capital for the first month: $590
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this. Small businesses are the heart of Liverpool. Hope you're open again soon
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Hamilton.
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Liverpool.
Thinking of you and your family, Bennett. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
