Back to business - Nora's comeback in Newport
Nora lost a gas stove and two refrigerators to the demolition of the market and needs $3,250 to reopen a street-food cart and support the family.
🇬🇧 Newport, Wales, United Kingdom2,833 views
For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Newport. In September, the demolition of the market 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 Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $3,250 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,750
• Initial stock: ingredients: $570
• Shop repairs and licensing: $320
• Working capital for the first month: $610
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending strength, Nora. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Brest
This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 35 people at work. God bless
sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Sending strength, Nora. Small businesses are the heart of Newport. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Wellington.
