For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Ciudad de México. In August, a break-in 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $700 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $380 • Working capital for the first month: $120 • Shop repairs and licensing: $200 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Andrea

    Quick response, great follow-up

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

    Exceptional service

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Rooting for you, Andrea. Shared this with my family. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
