Ashish Sharma and Manali Purohit's dream of running their vegan cafe 'And Bodega' in Fitzroy North, Melbourne, turned tragic when it suffered extensive damage from an arson attack shortly after opening. This incident, linked to a nearby tobacco shop, cost them their life savings and brought additional theft. To recover, they initiated a crowdfunding campaign and are searching for new locations, buoyed by the unwavering support of their community.
