Renata needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in St. Petersburg needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a break-in.
🇺🇸 Florida, United States365 views
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.

Take care. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Edinburgh donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Edinburgh
