Back to business - Rajesh's comeback in Nagpur

Rajesh has run a flower stall for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

Nagpur
For six years I have run a flower stall in Nagpur. In August, a fire in the building took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $500 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $80 • Working capital for the first month: $50 • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $370 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Small businesses are the heart of Nagpur. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
