For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Half-Way Tree. In June, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 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 $900 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $380
• Initial stock: ingredients: $210
• Shop repairs and licensing: $200
• Working capital for the first month: $110
Glad we found this place.

How is Andre doing now?
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 7 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
