Back to business - Isaac's comeback in Manchester
Isaac has run a street-food cart for three years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $3,650 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a street-food cart in Manchester. In September, floodwater 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,450
• Initial stock: ingredients: $550
• Shop repairs and licensing: $380
• Working capital for the first month: $270
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Manchester.
Sending strength, Isaac. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you peace. Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Kota but we're thinking of you. Blessings
wishing you the best, Isaac. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless.
