Help Deniz restart a small grocery stall in Munich after a break-in
Deniz has run a small grocery stall for four years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $3,000 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Munich. In January, a break-in took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $3,000 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,200
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $290
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
• Working capital for the first month: $270
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Deniz.
It's all in the list in the story. replacing a cold-storage unit is the big one at $2,200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Small businesses are the heart of Munich. Hope you're open again soon.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update.
