Dear World (but mostly my Indian friends),

I'm a mango-lover tragically exiled to the land of $5-per-piece mangoes. Yes, one mango. Five dollars. And guess what? It wasn't even Alphonso!!

After publicly whining on Instagram (like any adult would), a mango-movement began. DMs flooded in. "We'll courier you mangoes!" they cried.

But alas, international shipping rules, irradiated mango policies, and pesky customs have made Operation Mango far more complex (and expensive) than imagined.

So here I am. Starting a fund. Not for rent. Not for a startup.

But to FEED ME MANGOES.

Contributions will fund:

• Imported, irradiated, USDA-approved mangoes

• Possibly a bulk box (or two) from a specialty Indian grocery in the US

• The emotional healing of my tropical fruit-deprived soul

Backers may receive:

• Mango selfies

• Dramatic mango unboxing videos

• Custom mango rating reports (Alphonso vs Kesar vs Banganapalli)

If we raise too much? A mango party. Maybe even Mango NFTs (jk...or Am I?)

Thank you for supporting my right to fruit-based happiness.

Mangofully yours,

Payel
