Rafał needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in Kraków needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a fire in the building.
🇵🇱 Kraków, Lesser Poland, Poland725 views
For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Kraków. In April, a fire in the building 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 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $750 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $260
• Shop repairs and licensing: $260
• Working capital for the first month: $230
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. After 27 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Rafał. Small businesses are the heart of Kraków. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Lahore.
thanks for sharing this. Hope you make a strong comeback. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Kraków.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rafał
Initial stock: fresh produce is $260 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Thinking of you and your family, Rafał. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Regensburg but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Regensburg.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Phoenix!
Best of luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Rafał. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Kraków
this could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Bornova so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there, Rafał. Small businesses are the heart of Kraków. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Small businesses are the heart of Kraków. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Rooting for you, Rafał. Hope you make a strong comeback. Wish I lived closer to Huntsville so I could bring a meal. Love from Entebbe.
