For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Guadalupe. In November, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,050 goes:
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $195
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $760
• Working capital for the first month: $95
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this, Graciela. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't give up. God bless.
wishing you peace. Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Hang in there, Graciela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. After 28 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
You're not alone, Graciela. Hope the shop reopens soon.
