Help Recover Expenses of Hollywood Street Vendors

Donation protected

Hi my name is Melody, and I am fundraising for my aunt and my cousin who got their hot dog cart vandalized on Saturday night. My aunt and cousin got to Hollywood to sell hot dogs and were told by the other vendors to move locations, to avoid any problems, they decided to do so. Not seen on camera, while each were gathering their carts to move they were physically assaulted by one of the vendors, as my cousin was tripped and physically hurt, my aunt was hit on the head with the pan. The vendors then proceeded to throw their stuff on the ground, leading to both carts being damaged and loss of food. This is extremely difficult as this is their only source of income. My family and I cannot wrap my head around how other vendors, knowing the struggle, could do such a thing while bystanders watch and laugh while my cousin was cleaning up the mess. We value everyone coming together to help my aunt and cousin's story get told and getting them the help they need. I know times are tough right now, and we appreciate all the help.
