Adrián needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café
Adrián has run a roadside café for four years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a roadside café in Ciudad de México. In August, a break-in took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $310
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $195
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $130
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Praying for you, Adrián. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Düsseldorf

Rooting for you, Adrián. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Messina
