For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Duque de Caxias. In September, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $850 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $360
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $175
• Working capital for the first month: $195
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out, Daniel. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Essen this morning.
Sending good thoughts, Daniel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Rohini
stay strong. Hope this works out for you. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you and your family, Daniel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Duque de Caxias.
