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

For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Dhaka. In December, 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 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $400 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $60 • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $280 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $60 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Parvin
