Help Charles restart a street-food cart in Brandon after a fire in the building
Charles has run a street-food cart for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $2,950 will put it back on its feet.
Updates from Charles
Good news. Because of your gifts ($300 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Brandon: we've started the first stage. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $95 so far, the plan for initial stock: ingredients is now scheduled.

Sending strength, Charles. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Brandon!
