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.

    Amazing support system

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
