Kavita needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
A small grocery stall in Bhopal needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after floodwater.
🇮🇳 India660 views
For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Bhopal. In May, floodwater took a cold-storage unit. 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 12 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 $300 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $80
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $165
• Working capital for the first month: $55
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Kavita
Thank you all. We're at 32% now ($95). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
