Hridoy has run a street-food cart for four years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

Bogra
For four years I have run a street-food cart in Bogra. In July, a fire in the building 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 Friday, 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 $400 goes: โ€ข Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $310 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $60 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
