For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Faisalabad. In October, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $240
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $70
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Danish. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Abuja.
