Eka needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café
A roadside café in Bogor needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after the demolition of the market.
🇮🇩 Bogor, West Java, Indonesia580 views
For four years I have run a roadside café in Bogor. In August, 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 Friday, 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $330
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Eka?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing an espresso machine and grinder, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
rooting for you, Eka. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Kinondoni.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless!
praying for you, Eka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Noida.
stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Abuja
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Jacksonville.
