Start-up fund for Ori: reopening a small grocery stall after a storm that collapsed the roof
A small grocery stall in Beersheba needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Beersheba. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $3,550 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,350
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $350
• Shop repairs and licensing: $175
• Working capital for the first month: $675

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ori?
Wishing you the best, Ori. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
thinking of you and your family, Ori. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 25 people at work. Love from Nagpur.
Take care, Ori. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Ori. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ori
Sure. The biggest one is replacing a cold-storage unit, $2,350. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Jerusalem so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Ori. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings

Sending good thoughts, Ori. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Ori. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted.
Thinking of you. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't give up.
