Start-up fund for Paisley: reopening a small grocery stall after a long illness and repossession

For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Los Angeles. In December, a long illness and repossession took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $4,950 goes: • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $3,150 • Initial stock: fresh produce: $720 • Shop repairs and licensing: $470 • Working capital for the first month: $610 Thank you for reading my story. - Paisley
