Dedi needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
Dedi has run a street-food cart for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Medan. In December, 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Initial stock: ingredients: $45
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $160
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this, Dedi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Guadalajara.
Stay strong, Dedi. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
