Juliana lost a cold-storage unit to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $1,050 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in São Paulo. In June, 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $1,050 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $510
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $230
• Shop repairs and licensing: $155
• Working capital for the first month: $155
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out, Juliana. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of São Paulo.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Glasgow but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Glasgow
