Help Diarmuid restart a small grocery stall in Limerick after the demolition of the market
Diarmuid lost a cold-storage unit to the demolition of the market and needs $4,000 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Limerick. In February, 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 Friday, 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 $4,000 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $670
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,950
• Shop repairs and licensing: $380
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Diarmuid.
Sure. The biggest one is initial stock: fresh produce, $670. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. All the best
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Cox's Bazar
Wishing you peace, Diarmuid. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Tarragona this morning.
