Help Karim restart a small grocery stall in Mecca after a long illness and repossession
A small grocery stall in Mecca needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a long illness and repossession.

For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Mecca. In July, a long illness and repossession 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $890
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $200
• Shop repairs and licensing: $370
• Working capital for the first month: $440
If you're reading this, thank you.
