Jordan needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
Jordan lost a gas stove and two refrigerators to a break-in and needs $2,450 to reopen a street-food cart and support the family.

For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in Hamilton. In August, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $2,450 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $470
• Initial stock: ingredients: $630
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,350
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

rooting for you, Jordan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Hamilton!
Thank you. If you're in Hamilton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
wishing you peace, Jordan. Hope this works out for you. Love from Juiz de Fora!
Stay strong, Jordan. Hope the shop reopens soon
wishing you the best, Jordan. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Jakarta Barat but we're thinking of you. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Accra
