Stockholm
For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Stockholm. In January, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $3,350 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $440 • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,150 • Initial stock: ingredients: $760 With deep gratitude, Maria

    Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.

      I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Haarlem but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Haarlem

        Small businesses are the heart of Stockholm. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in Uberlândia this morning

            wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Take care

              Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. After 20 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
