Manisha has run a street-food cart for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a street-food cart in Mysuru. In January, a fire in the building 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $110
• Initial stock: ingredients: $90
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $200
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Nashik so I could bring a meal.
