Joy needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café
A roadside café in Comilla needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For three years I have run a roadside café in Comilla. In November, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $400 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $80
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $285
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
