Bruno needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
Bruno has run a small grocery stall for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $3,800 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Kansas City. In January, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 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 $3,800 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,300
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $550
• Shop repairs and licensing: $400
• Working capital for the first month: $550
