Back to business - Anton's comeback in Berlin
Anton has run a street-food cart for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $1,400 will put it back on its feet.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Germany2,010 views
For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Berlin. In December, the demolition of the market 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 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 $1,400 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $550
• Initial stock: ingredients: $320
• Working capital for the first month: $530
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going, Anton. Hope the shop reopens soon. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
