Help Sumbal restart a street-food cart in Quetta after the demolition of the market
Sumbal has run a street-food cart for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a street-food cart in Quetta. In November, the demolition of the market 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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: $280
• Initial stock: ingredients: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $60
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
