Rachel lost a cold-storage unit to a break-in and needs $2,600 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For four years I have run a small grocery stall in London. In August, 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 Saturday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $970
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $620
• Shop repairs and licensing: $440
• Working capital for the first month: $570
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Rachel. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mysuru
