Help Sadia restart a small grocery stall in Rawalpindi after floodwater
Sadia lost a cold-storage unit to floodwater and needs $550 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Rawalpindi. In October, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $550 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $60
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $425
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
