Sana has run a street-food cart for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

Rawalpindi

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Rawalpindi. In June, a long illness and repossession 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 $400 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $260 • Shop repairs and licensing: $60 • Initial stock: ingredients: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Sana

Thank you all. We're at 37% now ($147). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
