A street-food cart in Saket needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after the demolition of the market.

For six years I have run a street-food cart in Saket. In May, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $250
• Initial stock: ingredients: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Rooting for you, Shefali. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
Wishing you the best, Shefali. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
