Start-up fund for Batuhan: reopening a small grocery stall after a storm that collapsed the roof
Batuhan has run a small grocery stall for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,100 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Üsküdar. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 6 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 $1,100 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $190
• Working capital for the first month: $160
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $750
With deep gratitude,
Batuhan
