Help Alamin restart a street-food cart in Gazipur after floodwater
Alamin lost a gas stove and two refrigerators to floodwater and needs $300 to reopen a street-food cart and support the family.

For four years I have run a street-food cart in Gazipur. In August, floodwater 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $300 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $160
• Working capital for the first month: $90
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Alamin. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Salvador donated after I showed her your page.

Best of luck, Alamin. Small businesses are the heart of Gazipur. Hope you're open again soon. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care!

So sorry you're going through this, Alamin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
