Back to business - Rose's comeback in Likoni
A street-food cart in Likoni needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a long illness and repossession.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Likoni. In July, a long illness and repossession 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $250 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Initial stock: ingredients: $90
With deep gratitude,
Rose
Updates from Rose
Small update. $75 so far, I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Likoni: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
