The damage from the storm was extensive. Many food shops had to discard all existing merchandise and restock shelves completely. Independent truckers needed repairs because parts of their trucks were submerged. Retail shops saw major damage on their items for sale. Loss of power, minimal gasoline for deliveries and cuts in transportation service have severely affected small businesses. Help us support business owners in need.
