Help Roberto restart a small grocery stall in Tlaquepaque after a long illness and repossession
A small grocery stall in Tlaquepaque needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a long illness and repossession.

For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Tlaquepaque. In August, 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $420
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $130
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $110
Thank you for reading my story.
