Back to business - Popy's comeback in Pune
A small grocery stall in Pune needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after the demolition of the market.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India1,024 views
For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Pune. In July, the demolition of the market took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Pune
