Comilla
For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Comilla. In October, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $450 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $60 • Working capital for the first month: $95 • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $295 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jewel

      Shop repairs and licensing is $60 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
