Help Xin restart a small grocery stall in Toronto after the demolition of the market
Xin has run a small grocery stall for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,250 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Toronto. In April, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $2,250 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $460
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,550
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
