Help Yasir restart a roadside café in Saint-Denis after a fire in the building
Yasir has run a roadside café for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,300 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a roadside café in Saint-Denis. In January, a fire in the building took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $3,300 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $2,600
• Shop repairs and licensing: $220
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $480
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Yasir
Update from Saint-Denis: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
