For four years I have run a small grocery stall in London. In May, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $580
• Shop repairs and licensing: $350
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $320
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck, Hannah. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
thinking of you, Hannah. Your post was clear and honest.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
