Help Sita restart a roadside café in Aurangabad after the demolition of the market
Sita has run a roadside café for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Aurangabad. 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $650 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $135
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $430
With deep gratitude,
Sita

Praying for you, Sita. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 30 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Greetings from Cambridge
