Help Jacob Launch ASSOUBA West African Cuisine

Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Jacob, and I’ve always had a burning passion for creating delicious food and bringing people together. and after graduating with a degree in software development two years ago, I’ve faced the challenging reality of not finding a job in my field. Despite my best efforts and persistence, the job market has been tough, and opportunities have been scarce. It has been my lifelong dream to open ASSOUBA WEST AFRICAN CUISINE, a cozy and welcoming place where the community can gather to enjoy food from West Africa. Life hasn’t always been easy, and past financial struggles have left my credit score in a challenging place, making it difficult to secure the funding I need to get started. But I refuse to let this setback extinguish my dream. That’s why I’m turning to you for help.
I’m reaching out with a humble heart, seeking to raise $210,000 to cover the essential costs of bringing ASSOUBA to life. Your kindness and generosity will directly fund major expenses, like purchasing kitchen equipment, securing a location, marketing efforts, initial inventory, operational costs and working capital. Every single contribution, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to making this dream a reality. By supporting ASSOUBA, you’re not just helping to open a restaurant; you’re investing in a place where the community can create memories, share meals, and experience the joy of great food. Also, I made the promise to give a percentage of every sale to a foundation in my country helping to send back to school girls and kids from very poor family like the kids I was back in the day. I promise to keep you updated on every step of this journey and show you the impact of your support.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support means the world to me and is the key to turning my dream into reality. Whether you can contribute financially or simply share this campaign with your network, every bit of help matters. Thank you for your generosity and belief in ASSOUBA. Together, we can make this dream come true!
JACOB
