Help Chidi restart a roadside café in Badagry after a break-in
Chidi has run a roadside café for twelve years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a roadside café in Badagry. In October, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $650 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $440
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care, Chidi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours.
