Shan needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in Corpus Christi needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a break-in.
🇺🇸 Corpus Christi, Texas, United States861 views
For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Corpus Christi. In December, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 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 $3,850 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,100
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $660
• Shop repairs and licensing: $480
• Working capital for the first month: $610
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Warsaw so I could bring a meal. God bless.
