For four years I have run a roadside café in Obuasi. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 10 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 $350 goes:
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $55
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $180
• Working capital for the first month: $115
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love, Diana. Hope the shop reopens soon. God bless.
hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Rooting for you. Small businesses are the heart of Obuasi. Hope you're open again soon. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Love from Rio de Janeiro.
