A street-food cart in Calamba needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a fire in the building.

For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Calamba. In May, a fire in the building 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $500 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $195
• Initial stock: ingredients: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $120
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Angelo. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Small businesses are the heart of Calamba. Hope you're open again soon. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Wishing you peace, Angelo. This could happen to any of us. Love from 6th of October City.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Amiens so I could bring a meal. All the best.
best of luck, Angelo. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best
