Tatsuya needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
Tatsuya has run a small grocery stall for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $3,650 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Kawasaki. In October, 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 12 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 $3,650 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,350
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $600
• Shop repairs and licensing: $360
• Working capital for the first month: $340
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
