A small grocery stall in Gujranwala needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Gujranwala. In February, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $175
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $55
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rizwan.
Replacing a cold-storage unit is $175 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
stay strong, Rizwan. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Valencia
Best of luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. Take care
