Liliana needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
Liliana has run a small grocery stall for six years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,800 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Derry. In December, 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 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 $2,800 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,600
• Shop repairs and licensing: $560
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $640
Thank you so much.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Derry.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a cold-storage unit, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
rooting for you, Liliana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Liliana. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Hope it all works out, Liliana. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Taguig but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Liliana. Hope this works out for you.
You're not alone, Liliana. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Peoria
