Back to business - Srinivas's comeback in Mysuru
A roadside café in Mysuru needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a fire in the building.

For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Mysuru. In October, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $200
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $145
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Srinivas
Replacing an espresso machine and grinder is $200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Best of luck, Srinivas. I hope things turn around soon.
