For three years I have run a roadside café in Mumbai. 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 Friday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $110
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Sabina. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 37 people at work
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Nairobi.
Rooting for you, Sabina. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Seattle
