Malee needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café
Malee lost an espresso machine and grinder to floodwater and needs $700 to reopen a roadside café and support the family.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand1,968 views
For four years I have run a roadside café in Bangkok. In October, floodwater 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 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 $700 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $210
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $430
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Looking forward to the next update. After 30 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
