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

Rani has run a roadside café for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a roadside café in Depok. In February, 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $500 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $200 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $150 • Shop repairs and licensing: $75 • Working capital for the first month: $75 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Rani
