For four years I have run a street-food cart in Dnipro. In December, the demolition of the market 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $700 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $555
Thank you for reading my story.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Viktoria.
Working capital for the first month is $70 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Dnipro.
Wishing you the best, Viktoria. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Düsseldorf!
Rooting for you, Viktoria. I hope things turn around soon.
