Sebastián has run a small grocery stall for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Santa Fe. In January, the demolition of the market 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $260
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $170
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $175
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Sebastián. I hope things turn around soon
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sebastián.
Replacing a cold-storage unit is $260 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Tacoma but we're thinking of you
sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Mohammedia.
