For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Savar. In May, a fire in the building 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 3 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: $410 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $45 • Shop repairs and licensing: $40 • Working capital for the first month: $55 Thanks for being kind about this. - Hasan
