Start-up fund for Harsh: reopening a street-food cart after floodwater
Harsh has run a street-food cart for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a street-food cart in Warangal. In May, floodwater 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Initial stock: ingredients: $85
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $390
Thank you so much.
