Help Rodrigo restart a roadside café in Mar del Plata after the demolition of the market

Rodrigo has run a roadside café for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $800 will put it back on its feet.

Mar del Plata
For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Mar del Plata. In April, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $800 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $510 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $115 • Shop repairs and licensing: $90 • Working capital for the first month: $85 With deep gratitude, Rodrigo
