Víctor needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in Syracuse needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after the demolition of the market.
🇺🇸 United States3,526 views
For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Syracuse. In March, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $4,450 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $2,850
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $800
• Shop repairs and licensing: $500
• Working capital for the first month: $300
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Syracuse. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Stockholm.

Sending good thoughts, Víctor. Hope you get there.

Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Rooting for you, Víctor. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
