Manasi needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café
Manasi has run a roadside café for twelve years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Rohini. In January, a break-in took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $450
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $30
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Manasi
Good news. Because of your gifts ($39 in total) I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $39 so far, I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 3% funded and I made the first payment toward replacing an espresso machine and grinder.
