Adama
For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Adama. 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 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 $500 goes: • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $280 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $70 • Shop repairs and licensing: $95 • Working capital for the first month: $55 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Habtamu
