For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Cali. In August, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $850 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $155 • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $640 • Shop repairs and licensing: $55 I hope life is good to you. - Paula
