Vinícius needs a gas stove and two refrigerators to reopen a street-food cart
Vinícius has run a street-food cart for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,050 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Porto Alegre. In August, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,050 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $550
• Initial stock: ingredients: $310
• Working capital for the first month: $190
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
