Start-up fund for Víctor: reopening a roadside café after the demolition of the market
A roadside café in Madrid needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after the demolition of the market.

For fifteen years I have run a roadside café in Madrid. In August, the demolition of the market 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,900 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $570
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $420
• Shop repairs and licensing: $430
• Working capital for the first month: $480
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck, Víctor. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best
Wishing you the best, Víctor. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Barranquilla donated after I showed her your page.
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Madrid
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Busan so I could bring a meal. God bless.
