Ines has run a roadside café for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Heliopolis. In November, a break-in took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $280
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.
