Trupti has run a street-food cart for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a street-food cart in Mumbai. In June, a fire in the building 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $210
• Initial stock: ingredients: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $75
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
