Back to business - Mykola's comeback in Saint Petersburg
A street-food cart in Saint Petersburg needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after floodwater.
Anywhere in the world1,468 views
For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Saint Petersburg. In April, 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 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 $1,050 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $150
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $820
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Mykola. This could happen to any of us. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Hang in there. Hope the shop reopens soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
good luck, Mykola. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you peace, Mykola. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Geelong donated after I showed her your page. Take care!
Keep going, Mykola. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Pune.
