Help Subramanian restart a roadside café in Jodhpur after the demolition of the market
Subramanian has run a roadside café for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Jodhpur. 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 3 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $165
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $120
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
