A small grocery stall in Swansea needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after floodwater.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Swansea. In March, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $1,800 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $460
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $750
• Shop repairs and licensing: $590
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
