For twelve years I have run a street-food cart in A Coruña. In June, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 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 $1,950 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $390 • Initial stock: ingredients: $280 • Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,280 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Patricia
