Help Beth restart a small grocery stall in Chattanooga after the demolition of the market
Beth has run a small grocery stall for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $4,900 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Chattanooga. In August, the demolition of the market 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $3,050
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $730
• Shop repairs and licensing: $570
• Working capital for the first month: $550
Glad we found this place.
