Back to business - Clodagh's comeback in Dublin
A street-food cart in Dublin needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a break-in.
🇮🇪 Dublin, Leinster, Ireland1,838 views
For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Dublin. In January, 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $2,550 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,250
• Initial stock: ingredients: $280
• Shop repairs and licensing: $380
• Working capital for the first month: $640
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Dublin
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Clodagh?
Thank you. If you're in Dublin I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Best of luck, Clodagh. Hope you get there. Love from San Antonio.
stay strong. This could happen to any of us. After 15 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Dublin.
