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.

Syracuse
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.
