Gerardo needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
Gerardo has run a small grocery stall for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $3,300 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Sacramento. In August, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $3,300 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,150
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $490
• Shop repairs and licensing: $300
• Working capital for the first month: $360
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Rohini.
Wishing you peace, Gerardo. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Keep going, Gerardo. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Hubballi so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
