Hamza has run a roadside café for three years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a roadside café in Abbottabad. In December, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 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 $350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $220
• Working capital for the first month: $90
Thank you for reading my story.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Abbottabad.
Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
