Help Gustavo restart a small grocery stall in Bilbao after the demolition of the market
A small grocery stall in Bilbao needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after the demolition of the market.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Bilbao. 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,250 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $920
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $520
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
• Working capital for the first month: $560
Thanks for reading all this.

Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Bilbao!
you're not alone, Gustavo. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Hope it all works out. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care.
You're not alone, Gustavo. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Edinburgh donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Wishing you the best, Gustavo. Small businesses are the heart of Bilbao. Hope you're open again soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Stay strong, Gustavo. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending good thoughts, Gustavo. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
