Back to business - Abosede's comeback in Epe
A street-food cart in Epe needs help replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators after a fire in the building.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria707 views
For nine years I have run a street-food cart in Epe. In May, a fire in the building took a gas stove and two refrigerators. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $330
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $115
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Abosede
Update from Epe: I made the first payment toward replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 4% thanks to 2 of you. I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing. More news soon.
Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($10). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
