Sachini needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in Dehiwala needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a fire in the building.

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Dehiwala. 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 Friday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $170
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $75
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
