Back to business - Rohan's comeback in Thane
Rohan lost a gas stove and two refrigerators to a break-in and needs $350 to reopen a street-food cart and support the family.
🇮🇳 Thane, Maharashtra, India877 views
For four years I have run a street-food cart in Thane. In August, a break-in took a gas stove and two refrigerators. 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $350 goes:
• Initial stock: ingredients: $45
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $220
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
