Back to business - Cherry's comeback in Taguig

Cherry has run a roadside café for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

Taguig
For three years I have run a roadside café in Taguig. In April, a storm that collapsed the roof took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $600 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $330 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $85 • Shop repairs and licensing: $80 • Working capital for the first month: $105 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Sending good thoughts, Cherry. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
