Help Usha restart a street-food cart in Nagpur after a long illness and repossession
Usha has run a street-food cart for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a street-food cart in Nagpur. In June, a long illness and repossession 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 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $145
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $115
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
