Heloísa needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café
Heloísa has run a roadside café for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a roadside café in Santos. In July, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,350 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $720
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $270
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Working capital for the first month: $220
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
