Help Wendy restart a street-food cart in Dallas after a storm that collapsed the roof

Wendy has run a street-food cart for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,350 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a street-food cart in Dallas. In December, 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 3 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $2,350 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,300 • Initial stock: ingredients: $410 • Working capital for the first month: $640 Glad we found this place. - Wendy

    Hope it all works out. Small businesses are the heart of Dallas. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Belém but we're thinking of you. God bless.

      is there anything that isn't money that would help Wendy?

        Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.

      You're not alone, Wendy. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from London

      • Henry Felix Larbi

        Thinking of you, Wendy. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
