Back to business - Isaac's comeback in Ann Arbor

Isaac has run a street-food cart for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $2,950 will put it back on its feet.

Ann Arbor
For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Ann Arbor. In July, a fire in the building 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 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 $2,950 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,150 • Working capital for the first month: $290 • Shop repairs and licensing: $510 Thank you so much.
