A street-food cart in Nagpur needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after floodwater.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Nagpur. In August, floodwater 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $410
• Initial stock: ingredients: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $120
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

rooting for you, Krishna. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Good luck, Krishna. Shared it with a few friends
Sending good thoughts, Krishna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Liverpool.
Thinking of you, Krishna. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best!
