Start-up fund for Gabriel: reopening a street-food cart after a fire in the building
A street-food cart in Casablanca needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a fire in the building.
🇲🇦 Casablanca, Casablanca-Settat, Morocco1,681 views
For three years I have run a street-food cart in Casablanca. In August, a fire in the building 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 1 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 $500 goes:
• Initial stock: ingredients: $110
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $300
• Working capital for the first month: $90
If you're reading this, thank you.

keep going, Gabriel. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
So sorry you're going through this, Gabriel. This could happen to any of us. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Stockholm so I could bring a meal. Love from Dallas.
Hope things get better soon, Gabriel. Small businesses are the heart of Casablanca. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Casablanca
Good luck, Gabriel. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
