Start-up fund for Salim: reopening a street-food cart after a break-in
Salim has run a street-food cart for nine years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Alexandria. In November, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $300
• Initial stock: ingredients: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
Thanks for reading all this.
