For three years I have run a roadside café in A Coruña. In August, a break-in 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,150 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $1,200
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $230
• Shop repairs and licensing: $340
• Working capital for the first month: $380
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near A Coruña!
Thank you. If you're in A Coruña I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
take care, Teresa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
