For three years I have run a roadside café in Aurangabad. 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 Monday, 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $410
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Saint Paul.
