Back to business - Milan's comeback in Haarlem
A roadside café in Haarlem needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a fire in the building.
🇳🇱 Netherlands1,422 views
For three years I have run a roadside café in Haarlem. In March, a fire in the building 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $570
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $770
• Shop repairs and licensing: $160
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
