Help Eman restart a small grocery stall in Lahore after a fire in the building
Eman has run a small grocery stall for three years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Lahore. In June, a fire in the building 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $180
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $25
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
