Back to business - Vaishali's comeback in Nagpur
Vaishali has run a small grocery stall for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $250 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇳 Nagpur, Maharashtra, India710 views
For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Nagpur. In May, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $95
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

thinking of you and your family, Vaishali. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
sending strength, Vaishali. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Vaishali. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Johannesburg donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
