Bhavna needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café

For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Indore. In July, a break-in took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $550 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $340 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $65 • Shop repairs and licensing: $65 • Working capital for the first month: $80 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
