For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Columbia. In January, floodwater 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
• Working capital for the first month: $660
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $440
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
