Help Sumaiya restart a small grocery stall in Bogra after floodwater
Sumaiya has run a small grocery stall for fifteen years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Bogra. In December, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, 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 $300 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $210
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $30
Thanks for being kind about this.
