Help Panagiotis restart a roadside café in Piraeus after a break-in
A roadside café in Piraeus needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a break-in.
🇬🇷 Piraeus, Attica, Greece2,141 views
For three years I have run a roadside café in Piraeus. In January, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 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 $1,900 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $1,050
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $410
• Shop repairs and licensing: $170
• Working capital for the first month: $270
Thanks for being kind about this.
