Help Lydia restart a small grocery stall in London after a break-in
Lydia has run a small grocery stall for nine years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $3,250 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in London. In July, a break-in 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 4 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 $3,250 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,550
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $630
• Shop repairs and licensing: $420
• Working capital for the first month: $650
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
