For nine years I have run a roadside café in Cali. In August, floodwater took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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: • Working capital for the first month: $130 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $185 • Shop repairs and licensing: $185 Thanks for reading all this.
