Start-up fund for Maverick: reopening a small grocery stall after a break-in
Maverick lost a cold-storage unit to a break-in and needs $4,000 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Sheffield. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $4,000 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,450
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $770
• Shop repairs and licensing: $460
• Working capital for the first month: $320
Thank you so much.
