Help Alberto restart a small grocery stall in Guadalajara after a storm that collapsed the roof
Alberto has run a small grocery stall for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Guadalajara. In April, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $240
• Working capital for the first month: $230
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $880
Thanks for being kind about this.
