For six years I have run a small grocery stall in St. Petersburg. In August, 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $3,150 goes: • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,650 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $760 • Shop repairs and licensing: $430 • Working capital for the first month: $310 Every share and every dollar helps.
