Help Sebastião restart a small grocery stall in Caxias do Sul after a long illness and repossession
A small grocery stall in Caxias do Sul needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a long illness and repossession.
🇧🇷 Brazil800 views
For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Caxias do Sul. In June, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 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 $850 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $175
• Working capital for the first month: $220
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $455
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sebastião!
Shop repairs and licensing is $175 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you the best. Hope the shop reopens soon. Love from Kikuyu.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Sebastião?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about shop repairs and licensing, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. God bless!
Thinking of you and your family. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Tokyo!
