Help Lorenzo restart a street-food cart in Coyoacán after a long illness and repossession
A street-food cart in Coyoacán needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a long illness and repossession.

For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Coyoacán. In July, a long illness and repossession 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $700 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $400
• Working capital for the first month: $95
• Initial stock: ingredients: $205
I hope life is good to you.
- Lorenzo

Hang in there, Lorenzo. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
