For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Christchurch. In November, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,050 goes: • Initial stock: fresh produce: $540 • Replacing a cold-storage unit: $1,350 • Shop repairs and licensing: $160 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Tui

      Thank you. If you're in Christchurch I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.

        Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Lalitpur so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Cardiff
