For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Guarulhos. In May, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 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 $1,050 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $220
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $690
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
