Leonardo lost a cold-storage unit to floodwater and needs $3,250 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Parma. In May, floodwater 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $3,250 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,400
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $380
• Shop repairs and licensing: $270
• Working capital for the first month: $200
With deep gratitude,
Leonardo

Hope it all works out, Leonardo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending good thoughts, Leonardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care!
Hang in there, Leonardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Parma
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a cold-storage unit, advice is welcome too.
sending strength. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up. God bless.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Sacramento so I could bring a meal. Take care!
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best!
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Parma.
