ANONYMOUS $5,000 DONATION VAULTS FUNDRAISER FOR INJURED FOOD CART VENDOR CLOSER TO GOAL

An online fundraiser for Sameh Bules, the food cart vendor on 86th Street who was stabbed earlier this month, is nearing its $10,000 goal thanks to donations from dozens of people, including one person who gave $5,000. As of Friday morning, it had raised $7,410.

Bules is laid up at home after his kidney was punctured in the stabbing on Jan. 3. The food cart vendor typically wakes up at 1 a.m. for his trek to work from Staten Island so he can be there for Upper West Siders headed to their jobs. He has two children.

Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.

    I hope people give more since it’s likely Sameh doesn’t have health insurance, along with being deprived of wages ☹️.
