Back to business - Tareq's comeback in Mumbai
Tareq has run a small grocery stall for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Mumbai. 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 Wednesday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $350 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $140
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $135
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $35
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tareq.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing a cold-storage unit comes first ($140) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
thanks for sharing this, Tareq. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Santa Rosa.
