For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Mumbai. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 Monday, 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.
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: $45
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $210
• Initial stock: ingredients: $145
With deep gratitude,
Trupti

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Trupti
Working capital for the first month is $45 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
