Help Véronique restart a street-food cart in Paris after a fire in the building
Véronique lost a gas stove and two refrigerators to a fire in the building and needs $2,250 to reopen a street-food cart and support the family.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France806 views
For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Paris. In June, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $2,250 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $470
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,350
• Initial stock: ingredients: $430
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
