Genesis needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
Genesis has run a small grocery stall for three years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $2,450 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Vancouver. In February, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $2,450 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,200
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $560
• Shop repairs and licensing: $170
• Working capital for the first month: $520
Thanks for reading all this.
