Jerome needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall

Jerome has run a small grocery stall for four years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

Taguig
For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Taguig. In July, a fire in the building took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $600 goes: • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $330 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $85 • Shop repairs and licensing: $90 • Working capital for the first month: $95 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  1. 81% there. I made the first payment toward replacing a cold-storage unit. Thank you.

  2. We're at 47% thanks to 10 of you. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  3. Update from Taguig: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 25% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jerome!

      • Jerome D. DomingoOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing a cold-storage unit comes first ($330) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
