Help Faisal restart a small grocery stall in Riyadh after a fire in the building
Faisal has run a small grocery stall for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,900 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Riyadh. In July, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $1,900 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $860
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $470
• Shop repairs and licensing: $200
• Working capital for the first month: $370
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong. Hope you get there. My neighbor in 6th of October City donated after I showed her your page.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 19 people at work!
Small businesses are the heart of Riyadh. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Los Angeles.
