For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Rosario. In May, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,150 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $800
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $180
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $65
I hope life is good to you.
