Back to business - Aarón's comeback in Iztapalapa

Iztapalapa
For six years I have run a roadside café in Iztapalapa. In February, 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $800 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $390 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $220 • Shop repairs and licensing: $190 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Tel Aviv this morning.

      Thinking of you and your family, Aarón. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        Hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Jakarta donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
