Ana needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
Ana has run a street-food cart for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,050 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Londrina. In June, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 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 $1,050 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $720
• Initial stock: ingredients: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $140
Glad we found this place.

hope it all works out, Ana. Shared this with my family. Take care!
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Feira de Santana so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Sending love, Ana. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Take care.
Sending strength. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Best of luck, Ana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
