Help Lafayette Coffee Shop Fund a KIVA loan! https://www.kiva.org/lend/1166857
Lafayette Coffee Shop, owned by Stanley and Stephanie Chan, is an old school American diner that has been an important neighborhood institution in the Tenderloin for 91 years. Three months ago, the restaurant suffered the fate of many of San Francisco’s small businesses and was forced to move so their landlord could find a tenant that would pay higher rent. Luckily they were able to relocate to 611 Larkin Street, so they can stay open and serve the community.
The move to their new location was very expensive, costing a total of $50,000. Please help Stanley and Stephanie fund a zero interest KIVA loan that he will use to offset a portion of these costs.
They need 15 lenders in 15 days who will Loan a minimum of $25 to get onto KIVA's internet platform - can you help?
