Start-up fund for Aaron: reopening a small grocery stall after the demolition of the market
Aaron lost a cold-storage unit to the demolition of the market and needs $1,400 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in London. In April, the demolition of the market 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $740
• Shop repairs and licensing: $380
• Working capital for the first month: $280
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there, Aaron. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Macon donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
