A roadside café in Laval needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a break-in.

For nine years I have run a roadside café in Laval. In February, a break-in took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $1,850 goes:
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $520
• Shop repairs and licensing: $500
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $830
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Sending love, Jayden. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Eldoret!
hang in there, Jayden. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
