Start-up fund for David: reopening a small grocery stall after a long illness and repossession
David has run a small grocery stall for three years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,850 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Berlin. In June, a long illness and repossession took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 2 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.
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: $2,000
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $710
• Shop repairs and licensing: $430
• Working capital for the first month: $710

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Praying for you. Hope you make a strong comeback. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Dhaka.
So sorry you're going through this, David. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
