Help Guillaume restart a street-food cart in Reims after a fire in the building
Guillaume has run a street-food cart for four years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,200 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a street-food cart in Reims. In December, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $3,200 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $2,350
• Initial stock: ingredients: $370
• Shop repairs and licensing: $155
• Working capital for the first month: $325
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon, Guillaume. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Reims.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
