Help Hamza restart a roadside café in Mansoura after the demolition of the market
Hamza has run a roadside café for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Mansoura. In April, the demolition of the market took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $240
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Thank you so much.

Best of luck, Hamza. This could happen to any of us
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Santa Fe.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. After 29 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
