Help Shanice restart a small grocery stall in Johannesburg after floodwater
A small grocery stall in Johannesburg needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after floodwater.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa1,038 views
For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Johannesburg. In August, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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 $500 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $160
• Working capital for the first month: $185
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $155
Glad we found this place.
