Back to business - Pallavi's comeback in Nagpur

For three years I have run a roadside café in Nagpur. In October, a long illness and repossession 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 3 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 $200 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $45 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $75 • Working capital for the first month: $80 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
