Help Arianna restart a small grocery stall in Sydney after a break-in
Arianna has run a small grocery stall for three years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $2,650 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Sydney. In June, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 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 $2,650 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,350
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $340
• Shop repairs and licensing: $520
• Working capital for the first month: $440
Thank you so much.

Sending strength. Hope you make a strong comeback. God bless.
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Embakasi so I could bring a meal.
thanks for sharing this, Arianna. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Sending strength, Arianna. Hope you make a strong comeback. It's not much but it's yours.
