Start-up fund for Valentina: reopening a street-food cart after a storm that collapsed the roof
Valentina has run a street-food cart for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,300 will put it back on its feet.
Updates from Valentina
Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($301). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing.
Update from Birmingham: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending strength. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Hanoi
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Dnipro donated after I showed her your page.
Sending good thoughts, Valentina. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
You're not alone, Valentina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Sending strength. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Best of luck, Valentina. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Mumbai!
