Support our restaurant, provide food for local orphanages

Greetings! I’m Victor and my wife’s name is Divya. We met online in April and things happened pretty quick after that. I went to India in June and we got married on 11 July, 2024. We are currently living at her family home while figuring out how to navigate the immigration and visa system. I have an appointment at the U.S. embassy on 27 Aug. to get my NOC so we can register our marriage. She has an appointments in HHyderabad on 1 Oct. and in Mumbai on 4 Oct. for her tourist visa. We are still trying to figure out if we can file for her marriage visa once she gets to the US or if we need to file it over here. Our short term goal is for her to meet my family (only my mom, sister, and two cousins were able to come for the wedding on such short notice) and spend as little time apart as possible.

Obviously I am unable to work and have gone through most of my savings. We have decided to run a cloud/ghost kitchen but are having trouble getting orders and have so far only gotten 3 orders, all from her family . My wife, Divya, has some incredible stories about growing up here, and one of her best childhood friends grew up in an orphanage. That specific one is closed now but there is another nearby and we have spoken with them about donating food. They have a total of 75 people including staff. They only take vegetarian donations, which our kitchen can provide. We also want to donate monetarily a percentage of what, if any, we receive from you all. In short, we will donate 30% of what we receive here to the orphanage. 15% in cash and 15% in food from our kitchen which will also help drum up business. Our kitchen is called Married to Momo (momo is what dumplings are called here for those not in the know) and can be found on the Swiggy app. It can be downloaded but you need an Indian phone number to place orders. The rest will go to help cover my bills back home and pay for our travel expenses and court fees we need obtain our marriage license and get Divya’s travel visa.

This will also help her family as we will be leaving the business to them when we are able to return to the US, which should be some time in October. Thanks for your time and support. I’d be happy to address any questions, listen to any advice/suggestions, and eternally grateful for any donations.
