Back to business - Sun-woo's comeback in Seongnam
A roadside café in Seongnam needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after floodwater.
🇰🇷 Seongnam, Gyeonggi, South Korea1,374 views
For six years I have run a roadside café in Seongnam. In July, floodwater took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $1,250 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $750
• Shop repairs and licensing: $195
• Working capital for the first month: $305
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope you make a strong comeback. Sent it to 31 people at work. Thinking of Seongnam.
Keep going, Sun-woo. Your post was clear and honest. After 30 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything
