Eka needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
Eka has run a street-food cart for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Jakarta. In April, 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:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $195
• Initial stock: ingredients: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Eka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Los Angeles.
