For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Kasarani. In May, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $350 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $100 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $135 • Working capital for the first month: $115 If you're reading this, thank you.
