Megan needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
A street-food cart in Nottingham needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a long illness and repossession.

For six years I have run a street-food cart in Nottingham. In September, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $2,500 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,150
• Initial stock: ingredients: $730
• Shop repairs and licensing: $300
• Working capital for the first month: $320
If you're reading this, thank you.

I was skeptical at first, but this person proved to be reliable and genuinely interested in helping. Their response time was incredible and their solutions were practical.

Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
you're not alone, Megan. Small businesses are the heart of Nottingham. Hope you're open again soon!
