Back to business - Walter's comeback in London

Walter has run a street-food cart for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $2,050 will put it back on its feet.

London
For six years I have run a street-food cart in London. In November, a fire in the building 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $2,050 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $800 • Initial stock: ingredients: $440 • Shop repairs and licensing: $390 • Working capital for the first month: $420 Thank you so much.
