Back to business - Bakary's comeback in Boulogne-Billancourt

Bakary has run a street-food cart for six years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,600 will put it back on its feet.

Boulogne-Billancourt
For six years I have run a street-food cart in Boulogne-Billancourt. In November, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $2,600 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,400 • Initial stock: ingredients: $320 • Shop repairs and licensing: $340 • Working capital for the first month: $540 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Bakary
