Start-up fund for Kirill: reopening a roadside café after a fire in the building
Kirill has run a roadside café for four years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $2,850 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a roadside café in Regensburg. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $1,600
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $600
• Shop repairs and licensing: $390
• Working capital for the first month: $260
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
