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

For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Nha Trang. In October, 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $270
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Initial stock: ingredients: $95
Thank you so much.
