For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Dublin. In November, a fire in the building 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $1,950 goes:
• Initial stock: ingredients: $350
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,300
• Shop repairs and licensing: $300
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Bridget?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about initial stock: ingredients, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there, Bridget. Hope you make a strong comeback. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
