Back to business - Guilherme's comeback in Caxias do Sul
Guilherme has run a roadside café for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.
🇧🇷 Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil667 views
For nine years I have run a roadside café in Caxias do Sul. In August, the demolition of the market 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 7 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 $350 goes:
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $130
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
