Help Karl restart a small grocery stall in Regensburg after the demolition of the market
Karl lost a cold-storage unit to the demolition of the market and needs $3,400 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.
🇩🇪 Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany2,752 views
For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Regensburg. 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $3,400 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,800
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $500
• Shop repairs and licensing: $630
• Working capital for the first month: $470
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Karl?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a cold-storage unit, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Keep going, Karl. Hope you get there.
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together
Praying for you, Karl. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Thinking of you, Karl. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Regensburg.
