Back to business - Henry's comeback in Melbourne
Henry lost a gas stove and two refrigerators to a break-in and needs $3,350 to reopen a street-food cart and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Melbourne. In December, a break-in 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Initial stock: ingredients: $340
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,300
• Shop repairs and licensing: $710
With deep gratitude,
Henry

Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Manila.
take care, Henry. Hope this works out for you. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Tarkwa.
Thinking of you, Henry. This could happen to any of us. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
