Back to business - Amelia's comeback in Orlando
Amelia has run a roadside café for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $2,850 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a roadside café in Orlando. In February, a fire in the building took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 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 $2,850 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $320
• Shop repairs and licensing: $510
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $2,020
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Bandung so I could bring a meal.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Athens
