A roadside café in Barranquilla needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a long illness and repossession.

For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Barranquilla. In June, a long illness and repossession took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,100 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $650
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $155
• Working capital for the first month: $185
I hope life is good to you.
