Back to business - Orhan's comeback in İzmir

For three years I have run a street-food cart in İzmir. In July, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $350 goes: • Initial stock: ingredients: $160 • Shop repairs and licensing: $60 • Working capital for the first month: $130 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Orhan
