For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in San Antonio. In March, the demolition of the market 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 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 $4,950 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $3,250 • Initial stock: ingredients: $700 • Shop repairs and licensing: $330 • Working capital for the first month: $670 If you're reading this, thank you.

            take care, Pamela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
