Help Esther restart a street-food cart in Wudil after the demolition of the market
A street-food cart in Wudil needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after the demolition of the market.

For three years I have run a street-food cart in Wudil. In July, the demolition of the market 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 3 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $460
• Initial stock: ingredients: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $45
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going, Esther. Hope the shop reopens soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Praying for you, Esther. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Praying for you, Esther. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
