Radhika has run a street-food cart for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

Muzaffarpur
For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Muzaffarpur. In February, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 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 $700 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $450 • Initial stock: ingredients: $75 • Shop repairs and licensing: $105 • Working capital for the first month: $70 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Sure. The biggest one is replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators, $450. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.

  • Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from St. Petersburg

    • Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update!
