Help Avery restart a small grocery stall in Edinburgh after floodwater
Avery has run a small grocery stall for fifteen years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $2,650 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Edinburgh. In June, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $860
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $660
• Shop repairs and licensing: $460
• Working capital for the first month: $670
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

good luck, Avery. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Edinburgh.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up
Thinking of you. Hope you make a strong comeback. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
