Start-up fund for Aline: reopening a street-food cart after floodwater

For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Juiz de Fora. In February, floodwater 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $700 goes: • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $270 • Initial stock: ingredients: $175 • Shop repairs and licensing: $155 • Working capital for the first month: $100 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Aline
