For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Biratnagar. In February, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $230
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $80
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

shared it with a few friends. After 11 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
