Start-up fund for Marisol: reopening a small grocery stall after a storm that collapsed the roof
Marisol has run a small grocery stall for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a small grocery stall in Zapopan. 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 Tuesday, 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 $450 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $230
• Working capital for the first month: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.
