For four years I have run a street-food cart in Stockholm. In April, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $2,800 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $420
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,000
• Working capital for the first month: $380
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Annika.
It's all in the list in the story. shop repairs and licensing is the big one at $420, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Strasbourg
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 29 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Stockholm
is there anything that isn't money that would help Annika?
Sending love, Annika. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Hope things get better soon, Annika. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Salem so I could bring a meal.
Hope it all works out, Annika. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Stockholm.
Stay strong, Annika. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
hope it all works out, Annika. Hope you make a strong comeback. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Pasig.
