Regensburg
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. - 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.
