Amiens
For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Amiens. In January, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 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 $2,050 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $290 • Initial stock: ingredients: $310 • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,450 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
