Back to business - Maxim's comeback in Moscow
Maxim lost an espresso machine and grinder to a break-in and needs $1,300 to reopen a roadside café and support the family.
🇷🇺 Moscow, Russia1,079 views
For six years I have run a roadside café in Moscow. In March, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $1,300 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $850
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $180
• Working capital for the first month: $170
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Stay strong. Small businesses are the heart of Moscow. Hope you're open again soon. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
how is Maxim doing now?
Sending strength, Maxim. Small businesses are the heart of Moscow. Hope you're open again soon. Sent it to 35 people at work.
Sending good thoughts, Maxim. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
