A street-food cart in Lucknow needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a long illness and repossession.

For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Lucknow. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 Sunday, 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $330
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Initial stock: ingredients: $135
If you're reading this, thank you.

Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Lahore.
