Annelie needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café
A roadside café in Soweto needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a break-in.

For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Soweto. In June, 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 4 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 $300 goes:
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $120
Thanks for being kind about this.
