Help Bea restart a small grocery stall in Quezon City after floodwater
Bea has run a small grocery stall for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Quezon City. 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $340
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $150
I hope life is good to you.

so sorry you're going through this, Bea. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
