Afia needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
Afia has run a street-food cart for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Accra. In May, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $160
• Initial stock: ingredients: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Syracuse
Thinking of you, Afia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
