Hannah needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in Kelowna needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a break-in.
🇨🇦 Canada3,227 views
For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Kelowna. In July, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $2,800 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,800
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $420
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
• Working capital for the first month: $330
Thank you so much.

Hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Augsburg
