Nirmala has run a street-food cart for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Kathmandu. In June, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $210
• Initial stock: ingredients: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Every share and every dollar helps.
