Chukwuemeka needs an espresso machine and grinder to reopen a roadside café
A roadside café in Bonny needs help replacing an espresso machine and grinder after a break-in.
🇳🇬 Rivers, Nigeria1,176 views
For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Bonny. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 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 $450 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $270
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $115
Every share and every dollar helps.

best of luck, Chukwuemeka. Hope the shop reopens soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Caloocan
