Help Serenity restart a roadside café in Manukau after a long illness and repossession

Serenity has run a roadside café for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $1,750 will put it back on its feet.

Manukau
For six years I have run a roadside café in Manukau. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $1,750 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $530 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $690 • Working capital for the first month: $530 With deep gratitude, Serenity

    I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Adama donated after I showed her your page.
