For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Tampa. In July, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $3,400 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $630 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $890 • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,880 Every share and every dollar helps. - Tiffany
