Help Mizanur restart a roadside café in Belfast after a storm that collapsed the roof
Mizanur has run a roadside café for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,150 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Belfast. In April, 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 Sunday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $360
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $1,400
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $390
Thank you so much.

you're not alone, Mizanur. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Take care, Mizanur. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Manila.
your post was clear and honest. After 14 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Hope it all works out, Mizanur. Hope you make a strong comeback. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
sending love, Mizanur. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
