Murilo needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
Murilo has run a street-food cart for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Campinas. In January, a fire in the building 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 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:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $170
• Initial stock: ingredients: $220
• Working capital for the first month: $160
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone, Murilo. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Campinas.
Shared this with my family. After 11 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Small businesses are the heart of Campinas. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Christchurch but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Murilo. Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Baton Rouge but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Baton Rouge!
thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Keep going, Murilo. Small businesses are the heart of Campinas. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Best of luck, Murilo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Good luck, Murilo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Istanbul
