A roadside café in Kassel needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a fire in the building.

For six years I have run a roadside café in Kassel. In February, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $3,750 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $2,600
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $600
• Shop repairs and licensing: $340
• Working capital for the first month: $210
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Deniz. This could happen to any of us.
So sorry you're going through this, Deniz. Hope you make a strong comeback. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from El Paso.
shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Khon Kaen donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing you peace, Deniz. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Kassel.
