Start-up fund for Naveed: reopening a roadside café after a fire in the building

For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Lahore. In June, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $250 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $35 • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $175 • Shop repairs and licensing: $40 If you're reading this, thank you.
