For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Surakarta. In May, a fire in the building took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $550 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $55
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $440
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Dinda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Contagem so I could bring a meal.
