Johan needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
Johan lost a gas stove and two refrigerators to a break-in and needs $3,250 to reopen a street-food cart and support the family.
🇳🇱 North Holland, Netherlands790 views
For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Amsterdam. In June, a break-in 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $3,250 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,350
• Initial stock: ingredients: $650
• Shop repairs and licensing: $540
• Working capital for the first month: $710
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Miami
