Gujranwala

For six years I have run a street-food cart in Gujranwala. In August, 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $250 goes: • Initial stock: ingredients: $55 • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $140 • Shop repairs and licensing: $55 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Hina

Update from Gujranwala: the plan for replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators is now scheduled. We're at 51% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($98 in total) the plan for initial stock: ingredients is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $90 so far, we've started the first stage.
