Back to business - Hayato's comeback in Tokyo
A street-food cart in Tokyo needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan1,801 views
For three years I have run a street-food cart in Tokyo. In August, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $3,600 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,500
• Initial stock: ingredients: $740
• Working capital for the first month: $360
I hope life is good to you.

It's all in the list in the story. replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators is the big one at $2,500, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
