Help Seema restart a small grocery stall in Laval after floodwater
Seema has run a small grocery stall for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $3,050 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Laval. In April, 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 1 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 $3,050 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,800
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $560
• Shop repairs and licensing: $440
• Working capital for the first month: $250

Hang in there, Seema. Small businesses are the heart of Laval. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Laval!
