Miles needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café

For four years I have run a roadside café in Glasgow. In August, 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $3,250 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $2,100 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $660 • Shop repairs and licensing: $490 Thanks for being kind about this. - Miles
