For four years I have run a street-food cart in Jakarta Selatan. In March, a break-in 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $180
• Initial stock: ingredients: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Budi. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Narayanganj so I could bring a meal. Take care!
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Flint.
Take care, Budi. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best.
Stay strong, Budi. Hope the shop reopens soon!
Hope it all works out, Budi. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Greetings from Regensburg
sending good thoughts, Budi. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
