Pallavi needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
A street-food cart in Muzaffarpur needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after the demolition of the market.
🇮🇳 India628 views
For three years I have run a street-food cart in Muzaffarpur. In August, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $480
• Initial stock: ingredients: $135
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Pallavi
Update from Muzaffarpur: the plan for initial stock: ingredients is now scheduled. We're at 33% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Selatan so I could bring a meal. Blessings!
Thinking of you, Pallavi. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Pallavi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Thinking of you, Pallavi. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Muzaffarpur
Good luck, Pallavi. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Pallavi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
Wishing you peace, Pallavi. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Pallavi. Hope the shop reopens soon
