Help Jasmine restart a small grocery stall in Fresno after a storm that collapsed the roof
Jasmine has run a small grocery stall for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $3,200 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Fresno. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,450
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $740
• Shop repairs and licensing: $470
• Working capital for the first month: $540
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Small businesses are the heart of Fresno. Hope you're open again soon.
rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Fresno.
best of luck. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you.
your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Fresno.
you're not alone. Hope you make a strong comeback. Put this on a community board in Bogotá this morning. Take care
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Tarragona.
Wishing you peace, Jasmine. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
Wishing you the best, Jasmine. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
