Help Vaibhav restart a street-food cart in Hubballi after the demolition of the market
A street-food cart in Hubballi needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after the demolition of the market.
🇮🇳 Hubballi, Karnataka, India1,626 views
For six years I have run a street-food cart in Hubballi. In July, the demolition of the market 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 Friday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $650 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $340
• Initial stock: ingredients: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $105
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
