Craig needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart

For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Austin. In January, 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $2,700 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,000 • Initial stock: ingredients: $780 • Shop repairs and licensing: $330 • Working capital for the first month: $590 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
