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

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Tehuacán. In July, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 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 $550 goes: • Initial stock: ingredients: $120 • Shop repairs and licensing: $70 • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $360 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
