Stepan has run a small grocery stall for six years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Lviv. In July, the demolition of the market 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 12 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $130
• Working capital for the first month: $140
• Shop repairs and licensing: $130

How is Stepan doing now?
Hang in there, Stepan. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
