For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Sylhet. In July, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $35
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $100
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts, Tareq. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
You're not alone, Tareq. Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
