Back to business - Ramesh's comeback in Vadodara
Ramesh lost a cold-storage unit to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $500 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Vadodara. In April, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 3 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $320
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $55
Thanks for being kind about this.
