Help Harsh restart a roadside café in Aurangabad after a storm that collapsed the roof
Harsh has run a roadside café for six years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a roadside café in Aurangabad. In July, 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 Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $300 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $125
• Working capital for the first month: $60
Thank you so much.

sending strength. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
