For three years I have run a roadside café in San Francisco. In June, a break-in 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 $3,300 goes: • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $890 • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $1,750 • Working capital for the first month: $660 Every share and every dollar helps.
