Back to business - Sudip's comeback in Kathmandu
Sudip has run a street-food cart for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $200 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Kathmandu. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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: $45
• Initial stock: ingredients: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $50
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Best of luck, Sudip. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours
is there anything that isn't money that would help Sudip?
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update.
Best of luck, Sudip. I hope things turn around soon. God bless
I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Mumbai.
Hang in there, Sudip. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
