Anum needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café
Anum has run a roadside café for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a roadside café in Hyderabad. In July, a long illness and repossession took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $500 goes:
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $95
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $335
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope things get better soon, Anum. Shared it with a few friends.
Rooting for you, Anum. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing you peace, Anum. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Awka.
