Walid needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall

Walid has run a small grocery stall for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $950 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Jeddah. In July, a fire in the building took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $950 goes: • Initial stock: fresh produce: $330 • Shop repairs and licensing: $310 • Working capital for the first month: $310 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
