Help Aaron restart a street-food cart in Sheffield after floodwater
Aaron has run a street-food cart for nine years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $4,050 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Sheffield. In November, floodwater 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 1 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 $4,050 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,250
• Initial stock: ingredients: $720
• Shop repairs and licensing: $430
• Working capital for the first month: $650
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong, Aaron. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Sending strength, Aaron. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
You're not alone, Aaron. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!
good luck. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Asaba.
Thinking of you and your family, Aaron. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Lagos.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Boston.
Sending good thoughts, Aaron. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
