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.

Manchester
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. - Isaac

    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.

      • Rosa B. Ríos

        Wishing you peace. Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Kota but we're thinking of you. Blessings
