Start-up fund for Jayden: reopening a small grocery stall after a break-in
A small grocery stall in Manukau needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a break-in.
🇳🇿 Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand1,597 views
For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Manukau. In June, a break-in took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,650 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,500
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $370
• Shop repairs and licensing: $380
• Working capital for the first month: $400

thanks for sharing this, Jayden. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Düsseldorf.
Hope it all works out, Jayden. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Sending love, Jayden. Small businesses are the heart of Manukau. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Berlin but we're thinking of you. God bless.
You're not alone, Jayden. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Jayden. Hope the shop reopens soon.
