Newport
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.

            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.
