Start-up fund for Ghada: reopening a roadside café after a long illness and repossession

For nine years I have run a roadside café in San Jose. In July, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $3,550 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $1,850 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $700 • Shop repairs and licensing: $670 • Working capital for the first month: $330 If you're reading this, thank you.
