Winda needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart

A street-food cart in Makassar needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after floodwater.

For six years I have run a street-food cart in Makassar. In June, floodwater 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 3 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 $400 goes: • Initial stock: ingredients: $90 • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $210 • Shop repairs and licensing: $100 Thanks for being kind about this. - Winda

          Thank you. If you're in Makassar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

        Keep going. Hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Makassar

          thinking of you, Winda. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
