Rajesh needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
Rajesh has run a street-food cart for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a street-food cart in Pune. In April, 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 Monday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $450 goes:
• Initial stock: ingredients: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $115
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $250
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts, Rajesh. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
wishing you peace, Rajesh. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Çankaya this morning.
