Help Tiago restart a roadside café in Olinda after a storm that collapsed the roof
A roadside café in Olinda needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For six years I have run a roadside café in Olinda. In April, a storm that collapsed the roof took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $950 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $135
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $115
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $700
Thank you so much.

Sending love. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Busan donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Busan!
Praying for you, Tiago. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
Best of luck, Tiago. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Tiago. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
