Chanchai lost an espresso machine and grinder to the demolition of the market and needs $550 to reopen a roadside café and support the family.
🇹🇭 Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Thailand557 views
For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Chiang Mai. In September, the demolition of the market 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $550 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $145
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $260
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $145
With deep gratitude,
Chanchai

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chanchai.
Sure. The biggest one is working capital for the first month, $145. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Wishing you peace, Chanchai. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Bang Khen this morning. Love from Bang Khen.
