Help Alexandre restart a street-food cart in Maringá after a break-in
Alexandre has run a street-food cart for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $900 will put it back on its feet.
🇧🇷 Maringá, Paraná, Brazil906 views
For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Maringá. In August, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $900 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $580
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $215
With deep gratitude,
Alexandre
