Chhaya needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in Bengaluru needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a fire in the building.
🇮🇳 Karnataka, India1,057 views
For four years I have run a small grocery stall in Bengaluru. In January, a fire in the building 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 6 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:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $115
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $170
• Working capital for the first month: $65
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
