Start-up fund for Cristina: reopening a small grocery stall after the demolition of the market
A small grocery stall in Cluj-Napoca needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after the demolition of the market.
🇷🇴 Cluj-Napoca, Cluj, Romania1,462 views
For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Cluj-Napoca. In February, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $190
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $210
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $800
Glad we found this place.
