For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Sheffield. In January, 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 3 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 $3,650 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,150
• Initial stock: ingredients: $660
• Shop repairs and licensing: $380
• Working capital for the first month: $460
Glad we found this place.

hope things get better soon, Delilah. Hope the shop reopens soon. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Rooting for you, Delilah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 24 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything!
hope things get better soon, Delilah. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
You're not alone. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Rawalpindi.
