For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Sydney. In April, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $1,750 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $185
• Working capital for the first month: $465
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Doris. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Take care, Doris. Hope this works out for you. Love from Abbottabad!
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Sydney.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. After 19 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
