Liton needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
A street-food cart in Dhaka needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a break-in.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh1,511 views
For six years I have run a street-food cart in Dhaka. In February, a break-in 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $600 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $420
• Initial stock: ingredients: $45
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you peace, Liton. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings!
Wishing you the best. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Turin so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Liton. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Sending love. Small businesses are the heart of Dhaka. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Townsville.
Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Surakarta
Praying for you, Liton. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Keep going, Liton. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Thinking of you. Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
