Start-up fund for Tarun: reopening a small grocery stall after a break-in
A small grocery stall in Bengaluru needs help replacing a cold-storage unit after a break-in.

For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Bengaluru. In April, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $175
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Thank you so much.

Best of luck, Tarun. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Bengaluru.
Keep going, Tarun. Shared this with my family. God bless.
Good luck, Tarun. Looking forward to the next update
