For six years I have run a street-food cart in Columbus. In October, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $4,650 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,700
• Initial stock: ingredients: $730
• Shop repairs and licensing: $390
• Working capital for the first month: $830
With deep gratitude,
Eugene

Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Kraków.
sending good thoughts, Eugene. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 29 people at work. Take care.
