For three years I have run a street-food cart in 6th of October City. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 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 $500 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $65
• Initial stock: ingredients: $115
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $320
Every share and every dollar helps.

stay strong, Abdullah. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings

keep going, Abdullah. Shared this with my family. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best.
