Bruna lost a cold-storage unit to floodwater and needs $400 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Guarulhos. 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $400 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $200
• Working capital for the first month: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
I hope life is good to you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bruna.
Sure. The biggest one is initial stock: fresh produce, $200. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Aurangabad but we're thinking of you.
