A street-food cart in Mansoura needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a long illness and repossession.

For three years I have run a street-food cart in Mansoura. 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $410
• Initial stock: ingredients: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $80
Glad we found this place.

Hope you make a strong comeback. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Kisumu
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Toronto
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Bekasi.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ghada.
Wishing you peace, Ghada. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
so sorry you're going through this, Ghada. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Ghada. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Petrópolis
Wishing you peace, Ghada. Small businesses are the heart of Mansoura. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
