Mustafa needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in Shubra needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a break-in.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Shubra. In December, a break-in took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $250 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $95
Thanks for being kind about this.
