Help Christian restart a street-food cart in Makati after a storm that collapsed the roof
Christian has run a street-food cart for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines530 views
For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Makati. In January, 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 Friday, 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $200
• Initial stock: ingredients: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $135
Every share and every dollar helps.
