Maringá
For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Maringá. In March, a long illness and repossession 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 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 $1,150 goes: • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $630 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $190 • Shop repairs and licensing: $155 • Working capital for the first month: $175 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Hope things get better soon, Diego. Hope you make a strong comeback. My husband and I read this together. God bless.

    • Thinking of you, Diego. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mangaluru
