Noreen has run a street-food cart for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $200 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Faisalabad. In July, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $200 goes:
• Initial stock: ingredients: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best, Noreen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Ikeja!
Thinking of you and your family, Noreen. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours.
