Help Shakil restart a street-food cart in Dhaka after floodwater
Shakil has run a street-food cart for three years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a street-food cart in Dhaka. In May, floodwater 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 Wednesday, 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $180
• Initial stock: ingredients: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $65
If you're reading this, thank you.
