Help Prasad restart a small grocery stall in Nashik after the demolition of the market
Prasad has run a small grocery stall for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Nashik. In August, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $430
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $80
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

rooting for you, Prasad. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Marseille
How is Prasad doing now?
rooting for you, Prasad. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Pokhara so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Chattanooga.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Wishing you the best, Prasad. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from San Cristóbal de las Casas
