For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Bangkok. In July, 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 Thursday, 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 $950 goes: • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $570 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $145 • Shop repairs and licensing: $105 • Working capital for the first month: $130 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
