Seville
For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Seville. In October, a long illness and repossession 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $2,450 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,300 • Initial stock: ingredients: $570 • Shop repairs and licensing: $340 • Working capital for the first month: $240 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

    Made a real difference

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Helped when no one else could

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

            Praying for you. Shared this with my family. After 30 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything

                Hope things get better soon, Cristina. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Seville.

                  hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out
