Help Ngân restart a roadside café in Cần Thơ after the demolition of the market
Ngân has run a roadside café for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $750 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a roadside café in Cần Thơ. In October, the demolition of the market took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $490
• Initial stock: coffee and pastries: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $50
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Benin City so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Çankaya.
Sending strength, Ngân. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Rotterdam.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Cần Thơ
Stay strong, Ngân. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ngân
Replacing an espresso machine and grinder is $490 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
hope things get better soon. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Gondar.
Good luck, Ngân. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up!
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cần Thơ
Good luck, Ngân. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Hang in there. Small businesses are the heart of Cần Thơ. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Cần Thơ.

Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Buffalo.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Augsburg but we're thinking of you. Love from Augsburg.
Hope things get better soon, Ngân. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Móstoles.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 40 people at work. Greetings from Sacramento
Sending love, Ngân. Hope this works out for you
Sending good thoughts, Ngân. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless!
