Start-up fund for Enrique: reopening a street-food cart after a storm that collapsed the roof
Enrique has run a street-food cart for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,050 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Guadalajara. In May, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $1,050 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $670
• Initial stock: ingredients: $155
• Shop repairs and licensing: $225
Thanks for reading all this.
