Kezia needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
Kezia lost a cold-storage unit to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $700 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana842 views
For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Accra. In January, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $370
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $145
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $110
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a cold-storage unit, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Rosario donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Accra
