Help Fabrice restart a roadside café in Boulogne-Billancourt after a long illness and repossession
A roadside café in Boulogne-Billancourt needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a long illness and repossession.

For four years I have run a roadside café in Boulogne-Billancourt. In December, a long illness and repossession 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $2,350 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $1,150
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $530
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
• Working capital for the first month: $430
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Fabrice. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Dehiwala.
Sending love, Fabrice. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
stay strong, Fabrice. Hope the shop reopens soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Stay strong, Fabrice. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Fabrice. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
