Help Alice restart a street-food cart in Aberdeen after a storm that collapsed the roof
Alice has run a street-food cart for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $3,050 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Aberdeen. In December, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $3,050 goes:
• Initial stock: ingredients: $500
• Working capital for the first month: $290
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,260
Thanks for reading all this.
