Kathmandu

For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Kathmandu. In August, the demolition of the market took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $600 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $390 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $110 • Shop repairs and licensing: $55 • Working capital for the first month: $45 Thanks for being kind about this. - Rajesh
