Back to business - Ajay's comeback in Jodhpur
A small grocery stall in Jodhpur needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after floodwater.
Anywhere in the world1,487 views
For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Jodhpur. In July, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $210
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $80
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
praying for you, Ajay. Small businesses are the heart of Jodhpur. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 19 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
