For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Leeds. 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $2,650 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,100
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $700
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
• Working capital for the first month: $600
Thank you for reading my story.

thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from San Francisco.
Stay strong, Brandon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hang in there, Brandon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
