Help Mahin restart a small grocery stall in Gazipur after a long illness and repossession
Mahin has run a small grocery stall for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Gazipur. 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 3 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $350
• Working capital for the first month: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
Thank you so much.
