Back to business - Shivam's comeback in Nashik
Shivam lost an espresso machine and grinder to a fire in the building and needs $250 to reopen a roadside café and support the family.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India993 views
For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Nashik. In January, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $250 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $120
Glad we found this place.
