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.

Stay strong, Pamela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
You're not alone, Pamela. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from 6th of October City
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.
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Kozhikode
