Wagner lost an espresso machine and grinder to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $300 to reopen a roadside café and support the family.

For three years I have run a roadside café in Recife. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 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 $300 goes:
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $165
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $85
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out, Wagner. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Love from Jakarta Barat.
