For nine years I have run a roadside café in Kasarani. In August, 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 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $370
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you, Auma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings
