The current cultural climate between opposing cultures is ripe oneeryones mind, and especially ours. I am a refugee of syria, and came here to flee from the war. I was tortured in jail, for my religious denomination. And finally escaped to America. This land has given me so many chances to rebuild my life. And I love to cook! I learned English, and saved money for a food cart. Most people are receptive to the gift I am trying to bring, through food. My landlord, and some of my neighboring food carts however, are not so nice toward me and my culture. I have said few words to them, and I have received unwarranted health department calls, just to have business interrupted, gas stolen, and racist comments made directly to my face - for reasons I cant quite understand.
I am being forced to move out of this food cart pod I currently occupy. This will cause me to have to shut down my business until I find a new location, and food cart spots are hard to come across.
Any support would mean the world. My family is not of money, and I have worked hard to learn English and assimilate into this country. I have no bad intentions, I only want to share my food with everyone. This is a language that doesn’t need words.
I had my friend help me translate a list below that will be easier to read, if this one is too long. Thank you so much everyone.
Thank you for your time
