Back to business - Hanna's comeback in Malmö

Hanna has run a roadside café for six years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,300 will put it back on its feet.

Malmö
For six years I have run a roadside café in Malmö. In January, 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 Friday, 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $2,300 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $730 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $400 • Shop repairs and licensing: $560 • Working capital for the first month: $610 I hope life is good to you.
