Waylon lost a cold-storage unit to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $4,150 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in San Jose. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $280
• Shop repairs and licensing: $380
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $3,490
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
