For six years I have run a street-food cart in Pune. In April, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $265
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending love, Isha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Pune.
Hang in there, Isha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together
