Adrian needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
A street-food cart in San Diego needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a long illness and repossession.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States502 views
For three years I have run a street-food cart in San Diego. In July, 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 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 $3,000 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,900
• Initial stock: ingredients: $310
• Shop repairs and licensing: $280
• Working capital for the first month: $510
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace, Adrian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Hang in there. Hope you make a strong comeback. Sent it to 34 people at work.
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Ikeja but we're thinking of you
So sorry you're going through this, Adrian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Bogra so I could bring a meal. Take care.
wishing you the best, Adrian. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
You're not alone, Adrian. Small businesses are the heart of San Diego. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Birmingham.
