Help Papa restart a small grocery stall in Obuasi after floodwater
Papa has run a small grocery stall for three years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Obuasi. In August, floodwater 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $650 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $490
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $120
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Magelang
Rooting for you, Papa. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page.
