For six years I have run a street-food cart in Chattogram. In February, a fire in the building 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 2 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:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $105
• Initial stock: ingredients: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Thank you for reading my story.

12% there. I made the first payment toward replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($18 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
