Hialeah
For three years I have run a street-food cart in Hialeah. In March, a break-in 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 Saturday, 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 $4,300 goes: โ€ข Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $3,300 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $350 โ€ข Initial stock: ingredients: $650 If you're reading this, thank you. - Enrique

  • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Hialeah.
