For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Karachi. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $250
• Initial stock: ingredients: $40
• Shop repairs and licensing: $25
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Mahnoor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Warsaw.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Mahnoor?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
praying for you, Mahnoor. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Tampa
you're not alone, Mahnoor. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Mar del Plata but we're thinking of you. Love from Mar del Plata.
Wishing you the best, Mahnoor. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 20 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Karachi.
