For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Kawasaki. In July, 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 Saturday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Initial stock: ingredients: $370
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,450
• Shop repairs and licensing: $180
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

best of luck, Minato. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Springfield so I could bring a meal. God bless.
