Help Eman restart a roadside café in Lahore after a storm that collapsed the roof
A roadside café in Lahore needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan339 views
For three years I have run a roadside café in Lahore. In November, a storm that collapsed the roof took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $220
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $65
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength, Eman. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Lahore
