Back to business - Seyi's comeback in Bonny
A roadside café in Bonny needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a break-in.
Anywhere in the world1,201 views
For three years I have run a roadside café in Bonny. In May, 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 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 $300 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $170
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
