Help Fernando restart a street-food cart in Augusta after a break-in

Fernando has run a street-food cart for nine years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $2,700 will put it back on its feet.

Augusta
For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Augusta. In June, a break-in 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 4 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 $2,700 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,050 • Initial stock: ingredients: $570 • Shop repairs and licensing: $390 • Working capital for the first month: $690 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Fernando
