For four years I have run a roadside café in St. Petersburg. In May, a long illness and repossession took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $920
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $820
• Shop repairs and licensing: $650
• Working capital for the first month: $310
I hope life is good to you.
