Liliana has run a street-food cart for three years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,750 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a street-food cart in Anaheim. In May, a long illness and repossession 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,700
• Initial stock: ingredients: $890
• Shop repairs and licensing: $710
• Working capital for the first month: $450
If you're reading this, thank you.

Take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope it all works out, Liliana. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Bristol donated after I showed her your page.
Sending strength, Liliana. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best.
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
