For fifteen years I have run a street-food cart in Edinburgh. In June, floodwater 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $3,000 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $1,400
• Initial stock: ingredients: $500
• Shop repairs and licensing: $420
• Working capital for the first month: $680
Glad we found this place.

Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Mumbai.
