Kinsley needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in Orlando needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after the demolition of the market.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Orlando. In May, 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 Sunday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,450
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $790
• Shop repairs and licensing: $630
• Working capital for the first month: $680
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength, Kinsley. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from New Delhi.
Small businesses are the heart of Orlando. Hope you're open again soon.
praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Mardan this morning. God bless!

Best of luck, Kinsley. Your post was clear and honest
keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Take care, Kinsley. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Thinking of you, Kinsley. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Philadelphia so I could bring a meal. All the best
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Orlando!
