Arief has run a small grocery stall for fifteen years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Depok. In September, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $75
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $70
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arief.
It's all in the list in the story. shop repairs and licensing is the big one at $105, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Arief. Hope you make a strong comeback. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Blessings
