Start-up fund for George: reopening a street-food cart after a fire in the building
George has run a street-food cart for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Tema. In June, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $400
• Initial stock: ingredients: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, George. Hope this works out for you.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
