My name is Muresan Dragos, 47 yo, living in Romania, i've been working in commerce my whole life, mostly distribution of first necessity alimentary products used in cooking (wheat and corn flower, pasta, sugar, cooking oil, pasta, toilet paper and kitchen towels, some sweets, canned foods and others).

Considering that most of Romania's retired people living in city's have their mean retirement pensions are at about 400 euro, so probably the majority only receive about 200 euro monthly, from which they have to cover all other living expenses (eg, taxes, heating, water etc.), considering the accelerated rise of inflation, I managed to open a small shop (economat = shop with low prices) that sells the above products and more at prices at least 30% cheaper, than corporations and other shops.

I was hoping to have sufficient sales to afford the rent and minimum wage for myself, and in time open more shops to help more poor people in town (Targu Mures, Romania). I've managed to keep the shop open for 4 months (during winter when not so many old people get out shopping) at a loss of about 1500 euro monthly (rent +utilities 350 euro, wage about 1200 euro of which about 45% is taken in taxes).

Collected funds will be used as above, expenses, further development.

This is a personal project that most people believe is useless because of a lack in profit, but I believe people that helped build this country deserve some help in their old age.

I would be thankful for you help, a few Euro/Usd a month should be sufficient to keep it going.

Thanks for your support!
