Help Henry restart a street-food cart in Epe after a long illness and repossession
Henry has run a street-food cart for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Epe. In August, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $250
• Initial stock: ingredients: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
