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

For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Mumbai. In August, 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 Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $650 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $105 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $115 • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $430 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
