Manasi needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart

A street-food cart in Chennai needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a long illness and repossession.

For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Chennai. 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $600 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $360 • Initial stock: ingredients: $140 • Shop repairs and licensing: $75 • Working capital for the first month: $25 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

        Take care, Manasi. Hope you make a strong comeback. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

          Wishing you the best, Manasi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page. God bless

            Hope things get better soon, Manasi. Hope you make a strong comeback. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
