Start-up fund for Hyun-jun: reopening a street-food cart after a break-in
Hyun-jun has run a street-food cart for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $2,250 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Gangnam. In May, a break-in 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 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 $2,250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $200
• Initial stock: ingredients: $460
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,590
Glad we found this place.
