Help Radhika restart a street-food cart in Muzaffarpur after floodwater
Radhika has run a street-food cart for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇳 Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India1,003 views
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.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Radhika
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!
