Start-up fund for Oanh: reopening a roadside café after a storm that collapsed the roof

For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Hồ Chí Minh City. In March, a storm that collapsed the roof took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $450 goes: • Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $230 • Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $70 • Shop repairs and licensing: $40 • Working capital for the first month: $110 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Oanh
