Help Mahin restart a small grocery stall in Chattogram after a storm that collapsed the roof
A small grocery stall in Chattogram needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇧🇩 Chattogram, Chattogram, Bangladesh360 views
For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Chattogram. In August, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $90
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $35
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from București!
Thinking of you and your family. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Keep going, Mahin. Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Kota.
