Hae-won needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall

Hae-won has run a small grocery stall for three years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $1,900 will put it back on its feet.

Gangnam
For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Gangnam. In November, a break-in took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,900 goes: • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $840 • Shop repairs and licensing: $440 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $620 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Hae-won
