Back to business - Nan's comeback in Montréal
A street-food cart in Montréal needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a break-in.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Montréal. In March, a break-in 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 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 $2,800 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,350
• Initial stock: ingredients: $590
• Shop repairs and licensing: $270
• Working capital for the first month: $590
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

We're at 17% thanks to 19 of you. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Update from Montréal: I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Nan

Thinking of you, Nan. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Rohini
Thanks for sharing this, Nan. Shared it with a few friends.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Montréal.
