For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Uberlândia. In September, 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $550 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $145 • Shop repairs and licensing: $90 • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $315 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 25 people at work!

    • Thinking of you and your family, Miguel. 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

      • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Miguel

        • It's all in the list in the story. working capital for the first month is the big one at $145, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.

      • hope things get better soon, Miguel. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Patna.

          • Take care, Miguel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best

            • Best of luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Macon
