For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Montgomery. In March, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 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 $3,800 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $2,500 • Working capital for the first month: $700 • Shop repairs and licensing: $600 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
