Sebastian has run a street-food cart for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,600 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Kraków. In May, 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 Monday, 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 $1,600 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,050
• Initial stock: ingredients: $185
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $270
Every share and every dollar helps.

We're at 8% thanks to 4 of you. I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. More news soon.
Update from Kraków: the plan for replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators is now scheduled. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
