Start-up fund for Bappy: reopening a small grocery stall after a break-in
Bappy has run a small grocery stall for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a small grocery stall in Pune. In December, a break-in took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $370
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $130
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $40
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
